Descripción
These guidelines are a complete revision of the outdated Guidelines for Legislation on the Control of Pesticides [1989]. These guidelines are intended for Governments wishing to develop, review, update or strengthen national legislation for the control of pesticides. These serve as a reference for the preparation or review of pesticide legislation and cover all specific elements of such legislation. They describe specific requirements for all stages of the pesticide life-cycle, from manufacturin g to use or disposal. An overview of the international regulatory framework is provided along with guidance on how to reflect requirements of international instruments in national legislation. Further, they provide guidance on how to reflect the specific national context for pesticide legislation. A solid legislative framework should underpin the necessary institutional framework, policies and tools.
