Goals / Remit
The Association aims to advance research and development of crop protection solutions in Europe and encourage public policies based on science, creating the conditions to bring these tools that protect plant health to the market. The Association also promotes sustainable farming practices and the responsible use of crop protection solutions. The Association promotes the complementarity of its members’ crop solutions, including conventional crop protection, biologicals (derived from nature), agri biotech and digital & precision agri technologies, for an integrated approach to crop protection that supports a wide range of farming production systems (e.g.: conventional, conservation, organic, integrated, agroecological, vertical etc.) for the sustainable production of safe quality food, one that safeguards the environment and human health. The Association pursues a mainly scientific goal through the scientific study and analysis of all fields of interest to the crop solution industries.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
