This dashboard allows to access the detailed commodity and country data used in the drafting of Section 3.6 and Annex 4 of the JRC Technical report “Assessing the economic impacts of stronger alignment of production standards applied to imported products on the EU’s agricultural sector - Reducing All the Maximum Residue Levels of the most hazardous pesticides banned in the EU to the Limit of Quantification”.
The dashboard includes one or several sheet(s)/table(s)/graph(s) for each of the questions described .
Data has been obtained for:
- Active substances currently not approved in the EU – from the EU Pesticide Database
- Classification of those substances using the harmonized hazard categorization – from the ECHA-CHEM supplemented by EFSA for endocrine disruptors
- MRLs for the substances not approved in the EU and falling under most hazardous pesticides – from the EU pesticide database
- Use status for active substances by countries and active substance – from Homologa®: "The Global Crop Protection Database".
-
Use status data for ACP countries is supplemented by information compiled by COLEAD from multiple national sources, providing a homogenized overview of pesticide registrations and use status. This overview is based on the latest national lists of registered plant protection products made available to COLEAD by 27 ACP countries and two regional organisations (CSP and CPAC), covering a total of 39 ACP countries.
As the level of detail and completeness may vary between national lists, users are strongly encouraged to consult the relevant national authorities for confirmation or additional information where needed. Note that the raw national datasets cannot be shared without the explicit permission of the respective national authorities.
- Total samples and residue levels for active substances from import controls and market samples – from EFSA
- EU imports of commodities from third countries (total and country-specific) – from the COMEXT database from Eurostat.
- Exports of commodities from third countries (to all destinations and to the EU) – from the UN Comtrade database of the United Nations.
- Domestic agricultural production of commodities (volume and value) – from the FAOSTAT database of the Food and Agriculture Organization.
Self-sufficiency has been calculated as: (TOTAL EU PRODUCTION / (TOTAL EU PRODUCTION + EU IMPORTS - EU EXPORTS))* 100
