Abstract

This Law regulates pesticides and agrochemicals. The purpose of this Law is to provide legal grounds for the efficient use of pesticides and agrochemicals and for their application in such a manner which is safe both for humans and the environment. This Law regulates relations that arise in relation to state governance of the efficient use and safe application of agricultural chemicals and biological material, and of the development, registration, production, labelling, packaging, selling, storing, and the transportation, use, decontamination, placement, and exchange of information, and the export and import, of pesticides and agrochemicals. The legal grounds for the efficient use and safe application of pesticides and agrochemicals are the Constitution of Georgia, treaties and international agreements, the FAO International Code of Conduct on the Distribution and Use of Pesticides, the laws of Georgia on Food/Feed Safety, the Veterinary and Plant Protection Code, the laws on Soil Protection, on Health Care and on Environmental Protection, this Law and other normative acts.
