1Mie Import program apiO1IMMOd
OTTAWA - lialtain which
allows producers to impart desig-
nated pesticides for their own use
will be implemented by the federal
government. The announcement
.was made by Agriculture and
Agri=Food Minister Charles May-
er.
"1 am pleased this program is
now in place," said Mayer. "It re-
sponds to the recommendation el
the Pesticide Registration. Review
Task Force in 1990."
The review was conducted by
representatives from farm, forest-
ry, environmental, health and con-
sumer groups as well as the chemi-
cal industry. its recommendations
focused on enhancing the protec-
tion of human health and the envi-
ronment while ensuring access to
the best pest management tools.
The Own -Use import Program is
only one component of the govern-
ment's response to the task force.
In tandem with a price monitoring
system now in place, -the 'ltew pre -
gran' will help producers have ac-
cess to competitively priced pesti-
cides. Under the program, only
products equivalent to those regis-
tered in Canada can be imported.
As well, all Canadian health, safe-
ty and environmental standards
will e respected and upheld.
The Own -Use import proposal
was pre -published for comment in
the Canada Gazette in May.
