Key points

The regulation sets ambitious reduction targets, aiming for a 50% reduction in the use and risk of chemical pesticides and a 65% reduction for more hazardous substances by 2030 or 2035.
It mandates the implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to ensure that chemical pesticides are used only when non-chemical alternatives have been exhausted.
The proposal seeks to accelerate the market availability and authorization of biological control agents and low-risk alternatives.
To protect human health and biodiversity, the regulation introduces buffer zones around sensitive areas where pesticide use is restricted or prohibited.
