This document explains the position of CropLife Europe on the Omnibus X. Below are our key messages
Enable simplification: Protect the farmers’ toolbox by reducing administrative burden and duplication and streamlining procedures across the full toolbox (biological and conventional) while fully preserving high safety standards.
Ensure a risk-based approach: Maintain a science-based, proportionate framework grounded in robust risk assessment, targeted reassessment/data call-ins, and workable guidance, with clearer application of key concepts (including alternatives and derogations).
Support competitiveness: Keep Europe attractive for investment by safeguarding innovation incentives and data protection, ensuring trade-consistent, risk-based outcomes, and preventing regulatory-driven market distortions, including through stronger enforcement against illegal and counterfeit products.
