We are excited to extend our invitation to manufacturers, local authorities, and all stakeholders interested in the evolving landscape of Plant Protection Products Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 to join us for our upcoming Annual Eastern Europe Regulatory Conference. This year, we will convene in Zagreb to explore the latest legislative and strategic changes impacting our field.

Our conference serves as a dynamic platform for fostering professional relationships, sharing insights, and discussing critical developments within the PPP sector. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with peers and colleagues while gaining practical, first-hand information on regulatory and registration requirements for markets across Eastern Europe.

The 2025 conference will focus on several pivotal topics, including:

• Digital Transformation in Regulatory Processes: Exploring innovations and technological advancements in risk assessment and regulatory frameworks.
• Regulation of Biopesticides and Low-Risk Products: Understanding the latest policies and practices for sustainable and effective biopesticide use.
• Harmonization of Data Requirements and Mutual Recognition: Discussing efforts to streamline data requirements and enhance mutual recognition across EU member states.
• Public Perception and Stakeholder Engagement: Examining strategies for effective communication and engagement with stakeholders and the public.
• Climate Change and Its Impact on PPP Regulation: Addressing the regulatory challenges and adaptations required in response to climate change.
• Sustainable Use of PPPs: Reviewing progress and strategies for reducing PPP dependency and promoting IPM.
• Country Reports from representatives of different CA representatives with advice for applicants

Each topic will be presented from various perspectives, including those of EU and member state authorities, research institutes, universities, industry leaders, and consultancies. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of these issues and their implications for the regulatory landscape.

We look forward to welcoming you to this important event and to engaging in meaningful discussions that will shape the future of plant protection product regulation in Eastern Europe.
