Question 1360 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Max Mathiasin draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to sanitary and phytosanitary regulations. With a tropical and equatorial climate, overseas communities experience agriculture exposed to strong pressure from pests, parasites, fungal diseases, etc. However, sanitary and phytosanitary regulations, largely from the European Union, are designed for temperate climates and does not take into account overseas particularities, at the risk of having harmful consequences for production. For example: the standards for overseas shrimp aquaculture are those that apply to trout, resulting in a very low yield. The MP therefore proposes: to adapt to the tropical climate the definition of the conditions of use of plant protection products at the time of their marketing authorization (dosage, number of applications and period); to allow overseas producers to use phytosanitary products already approved in countries subject to the same climatic conditions and whose approval procedures are equivalent to European procedures; to remove “import tolerances” for foodstuffs treated with products banned in the EU, to limit risks and unfair competition from neighboring countries. This requires increased control at entry. He asks him his position on these different questions.
