Abstract

These guidelines, encompassing 19 articles and IV Annexes, address various categories of pesticides. Article 4 introduces the establishment of a Committee known as the "Committee for Registering Pesticides and Bio-Enemies," referring to organisms used for pest control that either kill, compete with, or combat pests and are commercially employed for this purpose. Meanwhile, Article 7 specifies that the registration, importation, distribution, and trading of pesticides and biological enemies are permissible exclusively for licensed agricultural institutions and companies. Article 8 sets forth a fundamental principle prohibiting the registration of microbial biopesticides containing more than one active ingredient. Additionally, it permits the registration of pesticides and biological enemies in countries with advanced registration systems, such as the European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and the United States of America. Article 9 provides a list of exceptions to the registration requirements.
