The Cabinet of Ministers made changes to the Procedure for Testing and State Registration of Pesticides and Agrochemicals. This was reported by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine.
With this decision, the Government simplified the issuance of permit documents for businesses and coordinated the implementation of these procedures with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding Uninterrupted Production and Supply of Agricultural Products During Martial Law”.
“The country’s economy must work for victory. Today we approved a decision that promotes agribusiness in wartime. Simply put, during the martial law and for 90 days after its cancellation, when registering pesticides and agrochemicals, it is not necessary to apply to the State Production and Consumer Service for a conclusion on the state sanitary-epidemiological examination. This will significantly reduce the time of receiving administrative services,” stressed the Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine Ruslan Strilets.
According to the current procedure, in order to obtain the opportunity to sell and use pesticides and agrochemicals, the entire package of documents was submitted to the Ministry of Environment, and then to the State Production and Consumer Service to obtain a conclusion on the sanitary-epidemiological examination. Now, during martial law, one permit document has been removed from the list. At the same time, the Government draws attention to the fact that the conclusion of the state sanitary-epidemiological examination will be returned at the end of 90 days after the abolition of martial law.
