Historical Background
The European Commission has,
in co-operation with the Dutch authorities, been conducting
a project called Sustainable Use of Plant Protection Products
since 1992. The first phase was concluded in June 1994 with
a workshop called “Framework for the Sustainable Use
of Plant Protection Products in the European Union”.
The outcome of this Workshop
was recommendations mainly for further studies. These studies
have now been completed and were discussed at a workshop held
in Brussels from 12 - 14 May, 1998.
