Key lessons from recent EU Court rulings on Pesticide Regulation - Cypermethrin endocrine disruptor
Dear Ms. Bury,
On behalf of PAN Europe, I am writing to bring to the Commission’s attention key lessons arising from three recent European Court rulings on pesticides, in cases brought before the Court by PAN Europe against the Commission. These judgments provide important legal guidance on the implementation of Regulation (EC) 1107/2009, and clarify the obligations incumbent upon the Commission under this legal framework. We trust that these rulings will be fully taken into account in future regulatory practice.
