DEFRA Consultations in food and farming, animal and plant health.

Food Standards Agency Consultations.

 

Defra have launched a consultation on how to implement new European rules on pesticides. 
It seeks views on how to implement the European Directive on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides, which covers areas including the training of pesticide users, inspection of spraying equipment and minimising the risk of pollution from pesticides.

The consultation also puts forward options on access to information about pesticides used near homes, and how people could be given the option to obtain this information.
