Use map for European Crop Protection Association
The use map and SPERCs of the European Crop Protection Association (ECPA) are now available in the use map library on our website. Registrants supplying to this sector are invited to use the information to prepare their 2018 registrations or improve their existing registration dossiers. ECPA is currently working on the development of the Chesar file for its use map and SPERCs. The Chesar file is expected to be added to the library by the end of the year. We encourage downstream user sectors that have not started to prepare their use maps to do so now.
