A Draft Legislative Decree (PDC) 1015/18 wants to suspend the norm to release the registration of pesticides in Brazil if they are already released by authorities in Europe and the United States, reports Agência Campesias.
Following an orientation of the National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance (Anvisa), there will be an optimized analysis procedure for registration of biological products if the product is already registered by the North American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Europe (European Medicines Agency – EMA). The analysis reports of products used for overseas registration should be available.

According to the author of the proposal, Deputy Leo de Brito (PT-AC), the standard creates a kind of process by “analogy” of registration of pesticides. “The maintenance of the norm is serious damage to the regulation of health surveillance and public health,” he said.
