Pesticides
- Question
- What action they have taken on testing pesticides on humans in healthy volunteer studies since the Pesticides Safety Directorate’s draft submission of 3 September 2003, and the joint declaration of the European Commission and member states on the use of human data in the review of active substances and the setting of maximum residue levels of pesticides (Doc. SANCO (2003) 2821) of 19 June 2003.
- Answer
-
The Government do not commission or carry out human studies on pesticides. The Pesticides Safety Directorate may accept studies submitted, provided that they are scientifically robust and ethically conducted. The position on that issue has not changed.The European Commission’s draft declaration on the use of human data was not supported by the member states and has not been adopted.
