Amendment 1056 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 13 – paragraph 1
1. Professional users shall first apply measures that do not require the use of chemical plant protection products for the prevention or suppression of harmful organisms before resorting to application of chemical plant protection productsharmful organism prevention or suppression measures, either by non- chemical methods or low-drift chemical application techniques, such as endotherapy, before applying chemical plant protection products with higher drift. The application of measuers, regardless of their nature, should always consider and meet the specific needs of the crops, especially concerning the timing factor for proper pest management.

Amendment 1561 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 21 a (new)
Article21a Application of plant protection products by application techniques of low drift 1. Member States shall allow the application of plant protection products by application techniques of low drift, such as endotherapy, in any of the following situations; (a) the low drift application technique has a less negative impact on human health and the environment than any alternative application method either because the application technique does not pose a danger to the contamination of soil, water, or air or because the method of application does not pose any risk to human health since the plant protection product remains entirely in the plant treated by this technique; (b) The application method represents the most negligible negative impact for products resulting from agricultural exploitation, where the application technique ensures that neither the flower nor the fruit of the treated plant can be affected by the treatment of the plant protection product; 2. An application by a professional use for a permit to use of applications techniques of low drift shall include information regarding the following conditions: (a) The application equipment used for the application of the plant protection product is registered in the electronic register of application equipment in professional use referred to in Article 33(1) (b) The accessories of the application equipment constitute the best available technology to apply the plant protection products accurately and to ensure the lowest drift possible. (c) The plant protection product is authorised for the use of low drift application techniques Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 3. Where a permit for the application of plant protection products by application techniques of low drift is granted before the first possible day of application, the competent authority referred to in paragraph 2 shall make public the following information: (a) The location and surface area where the application of plant protection products via application techniques of low drift fill be carried, indicated on a map; (b) The validity period of the permit for the use of plant protection products via application techniques of low drift; (c) The name of the plant protection product or products; (d) The application equipment to be used and the risk mitigation measures to be taken
