This Guidance Document has been developed to help countries define minor uses of pesticides at national or regional levels with the aim of enhancing the consistency among countries. It does not give an OECD definition, but rather it lists the critical elements to consider when developing a minor use definition. It was developed by Australia and reviewed on several occasions by the OECD pesticide groups.

The OECD Strategic Approach in Pesticide Risk Reduction, that was prepared by Germany:
- takes into account some of the main outcomes from OECD’s work on pesticide risk reduction,
- identifies the core elements that contribute to the reduction of risks arising from the use of pesticides,
- describes the main measures that lead to a significant reduction of pesticide risks (e.g. registration, compliance, IPM, training, technology, R&D, etc.), and
- recommends key elements for ensuring implementation and adoption of national action plans.

This report presents the results of an OECD survey that gathered information from twenty countries on how they collect and use sales and usage data concerning agricultural pesticides. The survey focused on the collection processes, the type of data that are collected and how these data are used and analysed. This survey provides more current and comprehensive data than that collected in a previous OECD survey conducted in 1997 which focused exclusively on agricultural pesticide sales data (see ENV/JM/MONO(99)1 .)

Publication of the Report of the Seminar on Pesticide Risk Reduction through Spray Drift Reduction Strategies as Part of National Risk Management
06-nov.-2009
This report presents the results of an OECD Seminar (June 2008) that looked at strategies to reduce pesticide spray drift and thus reduce risks posed by the application of pesticides on crops. Participants discussed various approaches for spray drift reduction (e.g. buffer zones, drift reduction technologies, labels), and developed several recommendations for promoting spray drift reduction technologies and policies. Please also visit www.oecd.org/env/spraydrift (from 2010).

OECD Workshop Risk Assessment of Manufactured Nanomaterials in a Regulatory Context
du 16-sept.-2009 au 18-sept.-2009
This workshop was held on 16-18 September 2009 in Washington D.C., United States. This Workshop was co-hosted with the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to OECD (BIAC) and the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA). The objectives were: i) to collect expert input to the critical issues specific for the risk assessments of nanomaterials; ii) to identify possible approaches for risk assessment based on the current state of knowledge; and iii) to identify issues which may be addressed through OECD’s testing programme. The workshop report will be available towards the end of the year.
