DG SANTE Head of Unit Andrew Owens Griffith outlining EU pesticides policy during Teagasc Crops Forum

Early September Teagasc held its annual Tillage Crops Forum. DG SANTE Head of Unit Andrew Owens Griffith addressed the conference to outline the EU policy with regard to pesticides over the next number of years. The DG SANTE Head of Unit was also able to discuss Irelands situation in meeting many of these targets, as well as took time to meet representatives from the two main farmer groups in Ireland to discuss and explain the impacts the new regulations will have on the industry.
