Description
RATION (Risk Assessment Innovation for Low-Risk Pesticides) is a research project funded by the European Commission and is going to address a pressing problem at EU level, the regulatory constraints hampering the full potential and market reach out of Low-Risk Pesticides.
Microbial pesticides are belonging to the most used and advanced category of biopesticides with more than 70 fungal, bacterial and virus products at EU level. In addition, new microbial solutions based on bacteriophages, protists and microbial consortia or synthetic microbial communities are under development at different stages-

SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THE NEW FPR
Satellite event to miCROPe 2024
Description
The AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, as entrusted by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship, and SMEs, is conducting a technical study concerning the assessment of safety and environmental risks as well as the agronomic efficiency of microorganisms used as plant biostimulants. This technical study aims to facilitate the incorporation of additional microorganisms into Component Material Category (CMC) 7, as stipulated in Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 (Fertilising Products Regulation, FPR).
The workshop “How to amend CMC 7 of the new FPR” will gather relevant industry stakeholders to collect their views and identify specific needs to assist in the future development of the FPR. In dialogue between scientists and representatives from fertiliser and biologicals industry sectors, we will develop guiding principles for shaping the regulatory future of microbial plant biostimulants in Europe.
