Dealing with pesticide residues in organic production - in Italy (Extract of D 1.3)

Summary in the original language of the document

The goal of this Europe-wide survey was to get an overview about pesticide residues on food and the handling of residue cases by farmers, companies, label organisations and competent authorities in Europe. With a total of 130 responses from 24 countries, we gathered a sound data basis for the required overview. From Italy 15 responses were received. The results of the survey make clear that residues on organic products are a regular problem and occur in the daily business of the food chain.
