Pesticide Law
Pesticides enable continuous supply of food and feedstuffs to humans and animals. Because of the potential health hazards that may arise from improperly manufactured herbicides, fungicides and insecticides, pesticides are subject to a strict approval procedure. For some products, separation from fertilizers, soil additives or biocidal products is doubtful. Also, labeling, advertising and import of plant protection products may bring legal problems.
We provide comprehensive consulting services, in particular on the following topics:
- Assessing the marketability of plant protection products, regulatory issues
- Differentiation from biocidal products, medicines, fertilizers, plant tonics, soil additives, etc.
- Identification and application of pesticides
- Imports and parallel imports of plant protection products
- Competitive and professional representation in litigation, particularly in relation to warnings from competitors and trade associations
