Best Practice Guidance to Identify Illegal Trade of Pesticides
On 20 February 2019, OECD Council adopted the Recommendation on Countering the Illegal
Trade of Pesticides to strengthen cooperation between countries and inspectors. A
Best Practice Guidance was developed to provide guidance for inspectors and regulatory
authorities on best practices for identifying and tackling illegal pesticides throughout
the complete lifecycle of a pesticide, from manufacture, through formulation, trade
and use to destruction.
