At the European level, the Crop Protection Technology Laboratory team actively participates in the Working Group SPISE<\/a> (Standardized Procedures for the Inspection of Sprayers in Europe). This group aims to harmonize and promote the inspection of PF dispensing equipment within the EU, exchange information on inspection activity between member states\u00a0(“<\/span>Spise Advice“),<\/span>\u00a0develop guidelines <\/span>\u00a0common to all member states, keep relations with the European Commission regarding this area.<\/span><\/p>

In addition to its involvement in SPISE, the Crop Protection Technology Research Group, in collaboration with formerly ENAMA and with the sponsorship of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry (formerly MIPAAF, now MASAF), has coordinated a National Technical Working Table since 2005. This initiative aimed to standardize regulatory and organizational aspects of the periodic functional control of sprayers used in Italian farms over a period of about 10 years. Additionally, the group produced documents containing guidelines for adjusting sprayers, ensuring their proper functioning and compliance with regulatory requirements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

For some time now, and for various reasons, the Technical Working Table has ceased its activities, despite the widespread recognition of the need to restart such an experience that has brought many benefits over the years. Both the current National Action Plan (NAP) and the draft of the next one envisage the establishment of a specific Technical Support Body, competent in the field.<\/p>

For these reasons, and in agreement with MASAF, meetings have been organized since the end of 2022 among representatives of the Regions and Autonomous Provinces. During these meetings, particular attention has been given to the following topics:<\/p>
