Overview
Event Details
Join us for our annual EU Biocides Seminar. Many of the transitional arrangements introduced by the BPR come to an end in 2017. While the review program for active substances will continue for many years, the full force of the BPR is only beginning to bite now. This seminar will provide a forum to exchange views on problem areas, share best practices, and plan for the future. Participation is free of charge.
