Les caractéristiques de conception de la politique environnementale et l’innovation

03-oct.-2011

Susciter l'innovation environnementale constitue un défi de taille pour les responsables des politiques publiques, notamment parce qu'il leur faut surmonter deux types de défaillances du marché co-existantes : la dégradation de l'environnement (une externalité négative) et les transferts indirects de connaissances (une externalité positive). Les efforts pour concevoir des politiques permettant de faire face à ces défaillances sont motivés par le fait que les innovations technologiques offrent un moyen d'améliorer la qualité de l'environnement à moindre coût.

PESTICIDES: Guidance Document on Crop Field Trials

30-sept.-2011

Crop Field Trials (also referred to as supervised field trials) are conducted to determine the magnitude of the pesticide residue in or on raw agricultural commodities, including feed items, and should be designed to reflect pesticide use patterns that lead to the highest possible residues. While the OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals on Crop Field Trial (TG 509, in September 2009) provides a harmonized approach to conducting and reporting crop field trials in OECD countries, this Guidance Document will help in planning the trials in OECD countries and in interpreting the results.
