Abstract

Inadequate and excessive use of pesticides in agricultural production can pose a significant risk to the environment and human health. In recent years, the European Union has paid special attention to the sustainable use of pesticides in agricultural production. The paper analyzes the problems of implementation of legal regulations on sustainable use of pesticides in the Member States of the European Union. That analysis is also important for Serbia, where the process of harmonization of regulations with the EU law has begun. The procedure for issuing approval for a certain plant protection product, ie the active substance it contains, to be placed on the European Union market has also been analyzed.
