II. Crop Protection Regulatory Conference
A Post-Patent Perspective
Join industry leaders, regulatory experts, and agricultural stakeholders for a comprehensive discussion on crop protection regulations in the post-patent era.
About the Conference
The Crop Protection Regulatory Conference is the only forum bringing together EU policymakers and leaders from across the post-patent plant protection industry to examine how upcoming regulatory developments will shape Europe’s agricultural value chain.
As developments related to the Food and Feed Safety Simplification Omnibus reshape the regulatory environment, the conference offers a neutral forum for dialogue, clarity and coordination. It brings together policy-makers, manufacturers, distributors, farmers, advisers and other stakeholders to examine practical implications, routes to implementation and the wider impact on European agriculture.
Key Topics
Explore regulatory developments, product authorization, data protection, legal issues, and the EU's agricultural agenda with a focus on post-patent perspectives.
Target Audience
Regulatory professionals, industry leaders, policy makers, agricultural stakeholders, and anyone interested in the future of crop protection regulations.
