\nPresident Lula sanctioned Law No. 14785 of December 27th<\/sup>, 2023, which provides, among other topics, the registration, control, inspection, and supervision of pesticides, repealing Law No. 7802, of July 11th<\/sup>, 1989, and Law No. 9974, of June 6th<\/sup>, 2000, and parts of annexes to Laws No. 6938, of August 31st<\/sup>, 1981, and No. 9782, of January 26th<\/sup>, 1999. The sanctioned Law had 14 sections vetoed by the Government.<\/p>\nThe new Law establishes new deadlines for completing registration requests, which are now:<\/p>\n
– new product (formulated), new product (technical): 24 months;<\/p>\n
– formulated product, generic product, equivalent technical product, atypical product, pre-mixture: 12 months;<\/p>\n
– identically formulated product: 60 days;<\/p>\n
– product for organic agriculture, product based on biological control agent: 12 months.<\/p>\n
If these deadlines are met, in the coming months there will be a large number of approved registrations, potentially reaching more than 4,400. On one hand, it is highly positive as it increases competition, but on the other hand, it is worrying as it could cause a strong and fast drop in product prices, causing major losses for stockholders in the country. In addition, if the deadlines are not met, there will most likely be a record number of legal actions to enforce the established deadlines, following the trend of recent years.<\/p>\n
Risk analysis is also foreseen for the granting of registrations for new products, as well as for changes in uses that imply an increase in dose, crop inclusion, application equipment, or in cases of reanalysis.<\/p>\n
