Dear Director,
The new EU Court verdicts on ‘recent scientific insights’ 1, 2 mean that you will have to drastically change your pesticide authorisation policy. Every decision you take from now on will have to be based on current scientific insights. And a full assessment of the negative effects of the use of each active substance and its formulation on health and the environment is required in the national authorisation procedure. And these insights can only be considered properly if you do a full literature search for every single active substance and its coformulants to begin with.
