Abstract
The European Commission and the European Parliament have assessed that the Union's objectives in the field of sustainable pesticide use in member states have not been achieved and should be more ambitious, long-term sustainable, and better monitored. On June 22, 2022, the European Commission published the Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the sustainable use of plant protection products and amending Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, which is intended to replace the currently applicable Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of October 21, 2009, establishing a framework for Community action to achieve the sustainable use of pesticides. The Proposal for a Regulation, in its current form, would have significant economic, social, and environmental impacts in the Republic of Croatia. The economic, social, and environmental impacts would result from the provisions of the Proposal for a Regulation in Chapter II (Objectives for the reduction of chemical plant protection products), Chapter IV (Integrated pest management), and Chapter V (Use, storage, and disposal of plant protection products). This paper provides a detailed description of the mentioned chapters from the Proposal for a Regulation and possible effects on agriculture in the Republic of Croatia.
