For decades the distribution and use of hazardous pesticides has been an issue of concern. Since its founding in 1982, Pesticide Action Network (PAN) has been the civil society organization most steadily and continuously calling for effective international action on the elimination of hazardous pesticides. PAN has been one of the key driving forces among nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) for improving pesticide and crop protection policies towards safer, socially just, environmentally sustainable and economically viable pest management systems.
1980s: the first international Code of Conduct on pesticides
In 1985 the International Code of Conduct on the Distribution and Use of Pesticides was adopted by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) to respond to the growing evidence of risks and harm associated with the use of pesticides. The first version of the Code of Conduct’ already indirectly questioned the effectiveness of the safe use of pesticides’ concept as an overall approach to solving pesticide related problems - the Code Article 5.2.3 stated that “industry should halt sale and recall products when handling or use pose an unacceptable risk under any use directions or restrictions?. Since the 1980s a number of international instruments and guidelines have been adopted' to tackle pesticide related problems. Additionally, many public and private initiatives have been implemented to reduce the adverse effects of pesticide use in agriculture. However, in general, these initiatives have been successful only to a limited extent and the ‘safe use' training approach to highly hazardous pesticides has been questioned increasingly by NGOs, scientists, governmental representatives. UN agencies and the private sector.
2000s: a new paradigm emerges on reducing hazards, as well as risks
Meanwhile numerous initiatives in food, forestry and flower production and distribution chains have developed their own prohibited or restricted lists for specific pesticides. In November 2009, the European Union abandoned its former paradigm based on assessment of pesticide risks only, with its new pesticide authorisation Regulation 1107/2009/EC,2 * 4which emphasises the need to take intrinsic hazards into account. Accordingly, Reg. 1107/2009 stipulates that pesticide substances (active ingredients) proven to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic for reproduction and endocrine disruptors shall not be authorised in the EU.
In November 2006 the FAO Council discussed and endorsed SAICM, the strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management. In view of the broad range of activities envisaged within SAICM. the Council suggested that the activities of FAO could include risk reduction, including the progressive ban on highly hazardous pesticides, promoting good agricultural practices, ensuring environmentally sound disposal of stock-piles of obsolete pesticides and capacity-building in establishing national and regional laboratories.
