The last implementation step is to establish an appropriate control regime for enforcing the product registration infrastructure elements of your national management scheme for pesticides. This can be done in 3 steps:
- Collection of enforcement data.
- Data evaluation: Comparison of enforcement issues with conditions of authorization (if any).
- Decision on compliance with legislation and any necessary action taken including whether or not to amend or revoke any authorisation.
