(7) The Commission Communication entitled ‘the European Green Deal’47 set out a roadmap of key measures, including legislative, to significantly reduce the use and risk of chemical pesticides. In the Farm to Fork Strategy48 , EU Biodiversity Strategy for 203049 and the Zero Pollution Action Plan50 , the Commission committed to take action to reduce by 50% the overall use and risk from chemical pesticides by 2030 and reduce by 50% the use of more hazardous pesticides (plant protection products containing one or more active substances approved as candidates for substitution in accordance with Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council51 and listed in Part E of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/201152 , or containing one or more active substances listed in the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/40853 ) by 2030. The sustainable use of plant protection products is also complementary to the promotion of organic farming and achieving the Farm to Fork Strategy target of at least 25% of the Union’s agricultural land under organic farming by 2030. It supports the objectives of the EU strategic framework on health and safety at work54 and thereby contributes to the implementation of principle 10 of the European Pillar of Social Rights on a healthy, safe and well- adapted work environment. As plant breeding and seed production contribute to the overall reduction targets, through the marketing of resistant varieties and the supply of healthy seeds to the market, the above mentioned activities are exempt from the overall reduction targets. __________________ 47 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions The European Green Deal COM/2019/640 final. 48 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions A Farm to Fork Strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system, COM/2020/381 final. 49 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 Bringing nature back into our lives, COM/2020/380 final. 50 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, Pathway to a Healthy Planet for All EU Action Plan: 'Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil', COM(2021) 400 final. 51 Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (OJ L 309, 24.11.2009, p. 1). 52 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (OJ L 153, 11.6.2011, p. 1). 53 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/408 of 11 March 2015 on implementing Article 80(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and establishing a list of candidates for substitution (OJ L 67, 12.3.2015, p. 18). 54 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, EU strategic framework on health and safety at work 2021-2027 Occupational safety and health in a changing world of work, COM/2021/323 final.

(10) In its conclusions of 19 October 202056 , the Council of the European Union, when taking note of the Commission’s reduction targets for the use of pesticides set out in the Farm to Fork Strategy, pointed out that achieving those targets will require efforts from Member States and all stakeholders and intensive co-operation, consultation and collaboration. Members States requested that the EC base its legislative proposals on scientifically sound ex-ante impact assessments taking into account the cumulative effect of the legislative proposals, including their effects on EU agriculture competitiveness and farmer profitability. The Council also requested the Commission to ensure that these targets are Union targets to which all Member States must contribute through action at national level. The Council conclusions request such targets to be set taking into account achievements to date, as well as Member States' different starting points, circumstances and conditions. Finally, the Council also highlighted the importance of ensuring adequate and scientifically- sound integrated pest management measures and the promotion of the use of sustainable alternative plant protection products and methods, especially through use of digital and precision agriculture technology. __________________ 56 Brussels, 19 October 2020, 12099/20.

(11) Biological control agents are a sustainable controlis one type of alternative to the use of chemical products, which can be combined with other solutions such as innovative agricultural equipment, sustainable agronomic practices, etc. for the control of harmful organisms. As noted in Council Decision (EU) 2021/110257 , biological control agents have a growing importance in sustainable agriculture and forestry and have an instrumental role to play in the success of integrated pest management and, high technology farming, conventional farming and especially organic farming. Access to biological controls would facilitates moving away from chemical plant protection products and applying them as a last resort following the integrated pest management principles, including reduced use through precision farming techniques. It is appropriate to encourage farmers to switch to low input agricultural methods including organic farming. It is therefore appropriate to define the concept of biological control as a basis for Member States to set indicative targets to increase the percentage of crops on which biological control agents are used. __________________ 57 Council Decision (EU) 2021/1102 of 28 June 2021 requesting the Commission to submit a study on the Union’s situation and options regarding the introduction, evaluation, production, marketing and use of invertebrate biological control agents within the territory of the Union and a proposal, if appropriate in view of the outcomes of the study (OJ L 238, 6.7.2021, p. 81).

(12) The objective of the Farm to Fork Strategy is to make substantial progress in the reduction of the use of chemical plant protection products in an economically viable way. In order to achieve that aim, it is necessary to set quantified targets at Union and Member State levels for the reduction in the use and risk of chemical plant protection products and the use of more hazardous plant protection products to monitor progress. National contributions to the targets should be established by national law in order to ensure adequate progress and accountability in relation to them. These binding national targetcontributions should also be achieved by Member States by 20305. The reduction in the use of chemical plant protection products is expected to significantly reduce occupational safety and health risks for professional users.

(12a) In March 2022, 12 Member States published a “non-paper” raising concerns about a draft legislative act and the sustainable use of pesticides and submitted it to Council. In June 2022, 10 Member States once again submitted a non-paper to the Council repeating the concerns shared in the previous non- paper. Concerning pesticide reduction targets, the Member States highlighted that the 50% reduction targets should apply to the EU as a whole. In December 2022, the Council agreed to trigger Article 241 of the TFEU, requesting the Commission to submit a study complementing the impact assessment of the Commission proposal to the Regulation on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides.

(13) Given the different levels of historical progress and, substantial differences in intensity of pesticide use between Member States, as well as the need for plant protection products to maintain a sufficient level of production, guaranteeing food security it is necessary to allow Member States some flexibility when setting their own binding national targets (“national 20305 reduction targetcontributions”). Intensity of use is best measured by dividing the total quantity of active substances placed on the market, and therefore used, in the form of plant protection products in a particular Member State by the surface area over which the active substances were applied. Intensity in the use of chemical pesticides, and in particular of the more hazardous pesticides, correlates with greater dependency on chemical pesticides, greater risks to human health and the environment and less sustainable farming practices. It is therefore appropriate to allow Member States to take their lower intensity of use of chemical pesticides than the Union average into account in setting their national 20305 reduction targetcontributions. It is also appropriate to require them to take their higher intensity of use of chemical pesticides than the Union average into account in setting their national 20305 reduction targets.contributions. Furthermore, when designing their contributions, Member States should take into account market availability and affordability of low-risk and non- chemical alternative tools for plant protection since availability of suitable alternatives enables farmers to use chemicals as a last recourse following IPM principles In addition, in order to give recognition to past efforts by Member States, they should also be allowed to take into account historical progress prior to the adoption of the Farm to Fork Strategy when setting national 20305 reduction targets. Conversely, where Member States have increased, or made only limited reductions contributions. Member States' territories, includin,g their use and risk of chemical plant protection products, they should now make a greater contribution to the achievement of the Union 2030 reduction targets, while also taking account of their intensity of pesticide use. In order to ensure a fair and collective effort towards the achievement of Union- wide targets and an adequate level of ambition, minimum limits should be laid down for national 2030 reduction targets. The EU’s outermost regions, as listed in Article 349 of the Treaty, are located in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Indian Ocean. Due to permanent constraints such as their remoteness to the European continent EU’s outermost regions, as listed in Article 349 of the Treaty, located in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Indian Ocean, should be allowed to take into account the specific needs of their different regions as regards the use of plant protection products and measures tailored to specific climatic conditions and crops. In some particular regions, tailor-made measures should be further developed to cope with problems derived from remoteness, insularity and/or high exposure to climate change, it is appropriate to allow Member States to take into account the specific needs of these regions a. This should allow a case-by-case decision-making process regardsing the use of plant protection products and measures tailored to specific climatic conditions and croplevel of pesticide reduction targets in both EU continental and outermost regions. In order to ensure a fair and collective effort towards the achievement of Union-wide targets, where a Member State reaches the level of its 2030 national reduct5 declared contribution to the Union target before 20305, it should not be required to undertake additional reduction efforts, but it should closely monitor annual fluctuations in the use and risk of chemical plant protection products and in the use of more hazardous plant protection products to ensure progress towards meeting the respective 2030 national5 reduction targetcontribution. In the interests of transparency, Member State responses to any Commission recommendations in relation to the level of ambition of national targetreduction contributions and the annual progress made towards them should be publicly accessible.

(14) Member States should draft and publish national action plans. In order for the Member State national action plans to be effective, they should contain quantitative objectives, references to binding national 2030 reduction targets as set out in national law, together with related indicative targets set out inMember States should describe the nactional action plans, measures, timetables and indicators to reduce risks and impacts of pesticide use on human health and the environmens to be taken in order to contribute to the 2035 Union target. This will allow for a structured approach to the setting of quantitative objectives and targets, with a clear link to the Unational 20305 reduction targets. In order to monitor compliance with the provisions of this Regulation, Member States should also be required to report annually on their contribution to the Union targets and precise quantitative data relating to compliance with provisions on use, training, application equipment and integrated pest management.

(15) In order to achieve the Union-wide reduction targets (‘Union 20305 reduction targets’) as well as national 20305 reduction targetcontributions, it is necessary to increase the availability, accessibility and affordability of low-risk alternatives and use of biological control and other economically justified non-chemical alternatives, including new breeding, technological, and precision techniques. Availability and viability of these alternatives will incentivise the adoption of low pesticide- input pest management practices such as organic farming, conservation agriculture and low till farming.

(18) Economic instruments, including those under the CAP that provide support to farmers, can play a crucial role in the achievement of objectives relating to the sustainable use of plant protection products and, in particular, reducing the use of chemical plant protection products. Member States have to show in their national CAP Strategic Plans that their implementation of the CAP contributes to and supports other relevant Union legislation and their objectives, including objectives under this Regulation. Beyond the CAP, there is a substantial need to deliver adequate funding to farmers to ensure they receive sufficient financial support to prevent productivity losses while enabling a sustainable and resilient European agriculture.

(19) For the sake of transparency and in order to encourage greater progress, it is necessary to measure the progress made by Member States in relation to the achievement of the national 20305 reduction targetcontributions and other national indicative reduction targets. This should be done on an annual basis by means of annual progress and implementation reports. In order to monitor the level of compliance with this Regulation in a streamlined, easily comparable manner, Member States should also include quantitative data in relation to the implementation of this Regulation as regards use, training, application equipment and integrated pest management. In order for the Commission to encourage progress towards achieving national 20305 reduction targetcontributions and other national indicative reduction targets, including any measures in support of such achievement, the Commission should analyse such progress and measures every 2 years.

(20) An approach to pest control that follows integrated pest management in ensuring careful consideration of all available means that discourage the development of populations of harmful organisms, while keeping the use of chemical plant protection products to levels that are economically and ecologically justified and minimising risks to human health and the environment is necessary for the protection of human health and the environment. ‘Integrated pest management’ emphasises the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems, encourages natural pest control mechanisms and uses chemical control only when all other control means are exhausted. To ensure that integrated pest management is implemented consistently on the ground, it is necessary to lay down clear rules in this Regulation. In order to comply with the obligation to follow integrated pest management, a professional user should consider and implement all methods and practices that avoid the use of plant protection products. Chemical plant protection products should only be used when there are no viable alternatives or all other control means have been exhausted. In order to ensure and monitor compliance with this requirement, it is important that professional users keep a record of the reasons why they apply plant protection products or the reasons for any other action taken in line with integrated pest management and of advice received in support of their implementation of integrated pest management from independent advisors. These records are also required for aerial applications.

(27) Precision farming refers to agricultural management systems carefully tailoring crop management to fit localised conditions such as those found within land parcels. The application of existing technology, including the use of Union space data and services (Galileo and Copernicus), has the potential to significantly reduce pesticide usage. It is therefore necessary to provide for a legislative framework that incentivises the development of precision farming. Application of plant protection products from an aircraft, including application by planes, helicopters and drones, is usually less precise than other means of application and may therefore potentially cause adverse impacts on human health and the environment. Aerial application should therefore be prohibited, with limited derogations on a case-by-case basis where it has a less negative impact on human health and the environment than any alternative application method or there is no viable alternative application method. It is also necessary to record the numbers of aerial applications carried out on the basis of permits granted for aerial application in order to have clear data on how many aerial applications for which permits were granted actually took place.

(38) Statistical data on plant protection products collected in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1185/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council74 should be used in calculating these harmonised risk indicators and progress towards achieving binding UnionUnion targets and national targetcontributions based on the Farm to Fork Strategy. Given that pesticide use fluctuates between years depending, in particular, on the weather, a three year baseline period is appropriate to take account of such fluctuations. The baseline period for the calculation of harmonised risk indicators 1 and 2 is 2011–2013, as this was the first three year period for which data was received by the Commission under Regulation (EC) No 1185/2009 and coincides with the entry into force of Directive 2009/128/EC. The baseline period for the calculation of progress towards the Union 20305 reduction targets is 2015–2017, as this was the three most recent years for which data was available at the time of the announcement of the Farm to Fork Strategy. The baseline period for the calculation of a new harmonised risk indicator 2a is 2022–2024, as this will be the first three year period for which data on the areas treated under each authorisation for an emergency situation in plant protection will be available. __________________ 74 Regulation (EC) No 1185/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 concerning statistics on pesticides (OJ L 324, 10.12.2009, p. 1).

(38a) When use data of plant protection products become available as result of the entry into force of the agricultural statistics regulation (SAIO), the European Commission should work towards moving away from reduction objectives based on sales data and hazard of plant protection products to a more precise and comprehensive picture on agriculture, including actual uses per crops, per region plus productivity and land-use data. Impact-based indicators should be developed combining use data of plant protection products with an indicator considering fate, exposure and effect per active ingredient applied on the field. Models which fulfil these criteria already exist and are currently used at national level, such as SYNOPS in Germany, PestLCI and USEtox. An indicator based on monitoring results of pesticides levels in environmental matrices such as water, soil and air, should complement this approach.

(39) For the moment, the only robust statistical data available at Union level relating to the marketing and use of plant protection products are the statistics on the quantities of active substances in plant protection products placed on the market, and the data on the number of authorisations for emergency situations in plant protection granted under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Those statistics are used in the calculation of harmonised risk indicators 1 and 2 under Directive 2009/128/EC and in calculating progress towards the binding Union 20305 reduction targets and national 20305 reduction targets based on the Farm to Fork Strategycontributions. The new harmonised risk indicator 2a will be calculated using statistics on the number of authorisations for emergency situations in plant protection, the properties of the active substances in plant protection products subject to these authorisations, and the areas treated under these authorisations to better quantify the risks arising from authorisations for emergency situations in plant protection.

(48a) Sufficient funding is needed for the further implementation of integrated pest management. The establishment of a new funding instrument beyond CAP will help foster the implementation and uptake of integrated pest management and make related measures more attractive to farmers, e.g. by providing compensations in case of proven loss of income. Furthermore, it would support the transition towards a more sustainable use of plant protection products at EU and Member State level, allowing for medium- and long-term alternatives to be developed and deployed.

(49) The implementation of this Regulation by Member States will result in new and enhanced obligations for farmers and other pesticides users. Some of them constitute statutory management requirements and standards of good agricultural and environmental conditions of land as listed in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council78 , which, in accordance with that Regulation, farmers must comply with to receive CAP payments, whereas other requirements, which go beyond the baseline of mandatory requirements, may be rewarded with additional payments under voluntary regimes like eco-schemes pursuant to Article 31 of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115. Article 31(5), points (a) and (b), and Article 70(3), points (a) and (b), of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 provide that the CAP funding is only available for practices implemented under an eco- scheme or agri-environmental-climate commitment which go beyond the relevant statutory management requirements and the standards of good agricultural and environmental conditions of land established under that Regulation and the relevant minimum requirements for the use of fertiliser and plant protection products, animal welfare, as well as other relevant mandatory requirements established by national and Union law. Since farmers and other users need to be financially supported in their transition toward a more sustainable use of pesticides, Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 needs to be amended to allow the financing of requirements imposed in accordance with this Regulation during a transitional period. The transition towards a more sustainable use of plant protection products, at EU and Member State level must be financed through new funding sources. No CAP funding should be used in this context. This exceptional option for Member States to provide additional funding for measures taken in implementing this Regulation should apply to any obligation for farmers and other users resulting from the application of this Regulation, including compulsory farming practices imposed by the crop-specific rules for integrated pest management. Further, pursuant to Article 73(5) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, investments by farmers to comply with new requirements imposed by Union law may be supported for a maximum of 24 months from the date on which they become mandatory for the holding. Similarly, a longer transition period should be set out for investments complying with requirements imposed on farmers in accordance with this Regulation. Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 should therefore be amended accordingly. __________________ 78 Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 2 December 2021 establishing rules on support for strategic plans to be drawn up by Member States under the common agricultural policy (CAP Strategic Plans) and financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and repealing Regulations (EU) No 1305/2013 and (EU) No 1307/2013, OJ L 435, 6.12.2021, p. 1.
