PAN Europe welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the call for evidence for simplification of administrative burden in environmental legislation.
PAN Europe is a science-based organisation composed of toxicologists, legal experts and policy officers. We bring together more than 50 consumer, public health and environmental organisations, trades unions, women's groups and farmer associations from across Europe. Together, we work to eliminate the dependency on pesticides and to replace their use with ecologically sound and socially just alternatives. We have extensive expertise in European and national pesticide legislation and its implementation. Accordingly, our contribution will address this specific aspect of the environmental legislation.
