The third European Workshop on Standardised Procedure for the Inspection of Sprayers in Europe took place from 22 to 24 September 2009 in Brno, Czech Republic. Organized by the SPISE Working Group, which includes representatives from Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany, the workshop focused on the practical implementation of European regulations for equipment inspections. Participants comprised experts from inspection and research institutes, administration, and private companies, ensuring a wealth of technical knowledge was present. Notably, representatives from the European Commission's DG-Environment and DG-Enterprise, along with organizations like ECPA, CEMA, and COPA, also attended. The event garnered positive feedback, with 100 experts participating from 27 European countries. A new Framework Directive mandates Member States to implement technical inspections for plant protection equipment on a rotational basis by 2016. The SPISE Working Group presented a draft proposal for uniform enforcement of inspections in Member States, aimed at guiding the implementation of equipment inspections as per Article 8 of the Framework Directive into national legislation. As with previous workshops, participants articulated further recommendations and hopes through a resolution.
