olive, pome fruit, rice, stone fruit, vegetable crops, vineyard,
wheat.

IPM and IP implementation in Portugal
(2007-)
With the CAP (2007-2013) the implementation of voluntary access to IPM advice and limited financial support for Integrated
Production only together with obligatory adoption of IPM in the SUD represented a setback (Technical assistance)
Technical staff support to give training and technical assistance
“Strong” National Advisory Service
Re-structuring of the Advisory Service Portal (under development – 2021);
Network for experimental demonstration farms to support the Research and Innovation transfer to agricultural and
forestry production systems and participation in the National Advisory Services (in place)

Indicators must accurately reflect the risks
“…….Commission services are thus of the view that the general provisions of the arising from the use of PPPs,

• Article 8 (concerning the inspection of Pesticide Application Equipment);
• Article 11 (concerning measures to protect the aquatic environment and
drinking water);
• Article 12 (concerning pesticide reduction in special areas). health the environment
are insufficient to address specific risks posed by aerial spraying by drones, which
can pose a similar profile and risk to manned aerial spraying. Therefore, having
regard not only to the wording but also the context, structure and objectives of the
SUD. Article 9 should be interpreted as applying to aerial spraying by drones [Ref.
Ares(2017)6111366 - 13/12/2017].

• Speed up market access to invertebrate biocontrol agents in all 27 countries;
• Ensure that producers conduct full sanitary measures in their biofactories, preventing the spread of plant pests;

“2a.UNDERLINES the necessity of an impact assessment, before any revision of the SUD in light of the measures and
targets envisaged in the European Green Deal and the future Common Agricultural Policy.
This impact assessment should encompass …….in particular for the spread of new pests, effects on land use,
competitiveness of European agriculture and family farms, food security and food safety;”
