Sustainable Use of Pesticides
|
Background
On 1 July 2002, the European Commission
adopted a Communication "Towards a Thematic Strategy
on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides" COM (2002) 349
The concept of thematic strategies was introduced
in the (6EAP) and should be seen as a complement to the full
implementation and review of the effectiveness of the existing
legal framework.
The Communication follows the mandate given
by the European Parliament and the Council in the framework
of the 6th Environmental
Action Programme (6EAP) to develop seven thematic strategies
for priority environmental problems.
The Communication is mainly based on
the results of a two-phase study programme conducted in co-operation
with the Dutch authorities since 1992. Recent reports complemented
the basic analysis work for this communication. All documents
can be obtained at: Sustainable
Use of (PPPs) - Historical Development.
