Type: article
Abstract: This report provides an overview of the hybrid two‐day workshop held in Athens, Greece as part of the GP/EFSA/PLANTS/2023/02 project titled ‘Support to urgent authorisations on Plant Health and Pesticides’. The primary aim of the workshop was to introduce the draft protocol for insecticides and acaricides and to solicit feedback from experts regarding its provisions and its potential to harmonize emergency authorisation procedures across the EU. The first day of the meeting featured an introductory session with an inaugural address, followed by the main event, which comprised three breakout sessions. Each breakout group addressed identical topics, facilitating participants' exchange of perspectives and provision of valuable insights. The outcomes derived from these discussions was subsequently presented and deliberated during the plenary session. The discussions highlighted areas of agreement and divergence, setting the stage for further improvements. The insights garnered during the workshop are anticipated to contribute to the refinement of the protocol, ensuring that the final version adequately addresses the needs of Member States and fosters harmonization in managing emergency authorisation requests across the EU.
