"When the 6th Environment Action Programme was adopted it was recognised that the impact of plant protection products on human health and the environment must be reduced, underlining the need to achieve a more sustainable use of pesticides and outlining a two-track approach with full implementation and appropriate revision of the relevant legal framework and developing a Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides. Now, the rapporteur considers the title of the Commission proposal to be misleading. The aim of the proposal is to regulate a particular class of pesticides, namely pesticides in the form of plant protection products. Accordingly, the term ‘pesticides’ should be replaced by ‘plant protection products’ throughout the text of the Directive. The Directive aims to reduce the risks associated with the use of plant protection products and on the environment and human health. However, measures designed with this in mind must be proportionate and it must not be forgotten that it should primarily be a matter for the Member States to help reduce the risks involved in the use of plant protection products by means of national action plans. This is the only way in which the differing conditions and situations at local level can be taken into account."@en1
