SUMMARY OF:

Regulation (EC) No 1185/2009 — statistics on pesticides

WHAT IS THE AIM OF THIS REGULATION?

• - 

  It sets up rules and procedures for the collection and dissemination of statistics on the sales and use of pesticides.
• - 

  These statistics, together with other relevant data, will allow the EU countries to draw up the national action plans with quantitative objectives, targets, measures and timetables, envisaged in Directive 2009/128/EC and aimed at reducing the risks and impacts of pesticide use on human health and the environment.
• - 

  They are also necessary for assessing EU policies on sustainable development and for calculating relevant indicators on the risks for health and the environment related to pesticide use.

KEY POINTS

Scope

The statistics apply to:

• - 

  the annual amounts of pesticides placed for sale on the market in accordance with the regulation’s Annex I;
• - 

  the annual amounts of pesticides used in accordance with the regulation’s Annex II.

Data collection, transmission and processing

EU countries must collect the data necessary for the specification of the characteristics listed in Annex I on an annual basis and for those listed in Annex II in 5-year periods by means of:

• - 

  surveys;
• - 

  information concerning the placing on the market and use of pesticides taking into account, in particular, the obligations laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009;
• - 

  administrative sources; or
• - 

  a combination of these means, including statistical estimation procedures on the basis of expert judgments or models.

They must then transmit the results to the European Commission (Eurostat) in line with the schedules and the frequency laid down in the regulation’s annexes. They must present the data in accordance with the classification in Annex III and the technical format set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1264/2014.

Any confidential data must be used by national authorities and by the Commission (Eurostat) exclusively for statistical purposes, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 on the development, production and dissemination of European statistics.

Quality assessment

EU countries submit reports to the Commission (Eurostat) on the quality of the data submitted. The Commission (Eurostat) also assesses the quality of the data.

Implementing measures and committee

The regulation grants the Commission power to adopt further legislation for implementation purposes. The Commission regularly adapts the list of active substances to be covered and their classification in categories of products and chemical classes, as set out on the regulation’s Annex III. The Commission is assisted and advised by the European Statistical System Committee, which comprises national experts.

Report

Every 5 years, the Commission with report to the European Parliament and the Council on the regulation’s implementation.
