Brussels, 22 December 2022 - Arbitrators have ruled in favour of the EU in the World Trade Organization (WTO) appeal regarding Colombia’s anti-dumping duties on frozen fries originating from Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.

Seventeen agri-food stakeholders - including EUPPA - have co-signed a joint open letter stressing the potential impact of the current proposal on Sustainable Use of Plant Protection Products Regulation (“SUR”) on the EU agricultural value chain, considering the current socio-economic situation in Europe.
The co-signing organisations call on the EU institutions to take into consideration the following points:
- Need for a comprehensive impact assessment
- Adequate targets that are based on science and feasible for producers
- Need to provide alternatives before withdrawing chemical solutions
- Proper definition and reconsideration of the ban on the use of any PPPs in sensitive areas
- Reduce the potential burden for farmers to comply with the SUR provisions to the minimum
