Law and Policy


Abstract: Sustainable agriculture is a global trend. Many countries are keeping up changing their law in order to build up an eco-friendly farming environment. However, Taiwan’s law is a little outdated. Thus, we compare law and regulation of biological control of US, European Union, and China. Hope to find out which part is Taiwan’ s law needed to take close look of.

  • Comparison of pesticide registration application:

    According the table above, we suggest that Taiwan’s lawmakers need to be aware of the regulation of “Residue Chemistry” and “advertisement” since there are more than two countries in the world take seriously about these parts.

    Let’s search further in law and regulation from those three countries and Union!

  • US Regulations

  • What are Biological pesticides(Biopesticides)?

    Biological pesticides co are certain types of pesticides derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain mineral

    Requirements

    New pesticide application needs to pass the “pre-registration meeting” first. The applicant also need to hand in the required data(超連結: https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/data-requirements-pesticide-registration). Then the next step is the assessment.

    Reference

    Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)

    Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA)

    40 CFR 158.2120: (1) Product Chemistry (2) Specifications

    40 CFR 158.2130: Residue Chemistry

    40 CFR 158.2140: Data from Studies that Determine Hazard to Humans and Domestic Animals

    40 CFR 158.2150: Data from Studies that Determine Hazard to Nontarget Organisms and Environmental Fate

  • European Union Regulations

  • What are Biological pesticides(Biopesticides)?

    None. They use “active substances” to classify the pesticide. According to Regulation 1107/2009, there are “chemical substance” and “microbial” two classes.

    Requirements

    First, new pesticide should pass the active substances test. Then hand in to the European Food Safety Authority(EFSA). Next, they will hand in to European Commission(EC). After pass all the tests, they will give the EU members to do the product check and then launch the product in their country.

  • China Regulations

  • What are Biological pesticides(Biopesticides)?

    Microbial including bacteria, fungi, virus, and genetically modified microbial.

    Requirements

    Product Chemistry and data of Hazard to Humans and Domestic Animals are required. Others like the data of the pesticide efficiency and residue chemistry in other countries is also required. The special requirement of microbial is to provide the characteristic of the microbial.
