Résumé This Resolution consisting of 19 articles prohibits the distribution of any pesticide without proper registration from the Ministry of Environment and Water. Furthermore, banned pesticides cannot be registered or imported into the state, while companies are banned from using pesticides without the Ministry’s approval. Upon approval, the Ministry issues a certificate of registration which is valid for five years or until the expiration of the certificate issued by the country of origin. The decree also requires obtaining the necessary license from relevant authorities before pesticides are imported or exported. Companies importing pesticides are mandated to secure prior permission from the Ministry even before the arrival of their products to any of the country’s ports. In addition, the registered pesticides must be sold in their original closed package without opening the containers. Local authorities have the right to reject the imported products in case of non-compliance with the set requirements and return the same to the country of origin at the expense of the importer. The imported pesticides are released only after the chemical specifications are thoroughly examined to check if they match the information in the approved certificate of registration. The Ministry of Environment and Water retains its right to take samples of pesticides to ensure conformity with the approved specifications and cancel or suspend the import permit.
