The CEUREG Forum is a technical conference for plant protection products regulation experts from Central and Eastern European countries and provides an opportunity to share information and experience between regulatory agencies in charge of authorisation, management and control of such products. In the last years it also gives information about products that are not classified as plant protection products but in general are used in plants protection.

The most important objectives of the CEUREG Forum activities are solving the problems related to the authorisation process under current EU legislation and reduction of the risk of pesticides use, misuse of the parallel trade, illegal trade, application of pesticides in/near residential areas.
