Key Deadline to Attend II. Crop Protection Regulatory Conference Approaches
23 July 2026 Taking place on 8-9 September 2026 in Brussels, the II. Crop Protection Regulatory Conference, organized by the European Crop Care Association (ECCA), provides a unique platform for businesses looking to understand and engage with the European post-patent crop protection market.
The Early Bird registration rate is available until 31 July. After this date, standard registration fees will apply.
Bringing together policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, and national authorities, the conference offers practical insight into the regulatory and commercial developments shaping one of the world’s most influential agricultural markets.
For companies seeking to expand into Europe or strengthen their existing presence, the event provides an opportunity to better understand how the EU regulatory system is evolving and what these changes mean for market access, investment and long-term business strategy.
As negotiations continue on the Food and Feed Safety Simplification Omnibus, presented by the European Commission in December 2025, the European crop protection industry landscape is entering a period of significant change, making it more important than ever for businesses to understand this industry’s regulatory direction.
This year’s program features senior representatives from the European Commission, the European Parliament, Member State authorities and the wider crop protection sector. Confirmed speakers include Herbert Dorfmann MEP, Almut Bitterhof (DG SANTE), Anne-Marie Dilon of Ireland’s Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and leading experts from across Europe’s regulatory and agricultural community.
The agenda covers the issues that matter most to businesses operating in or supplying the European market. Sessions will explore the future of EU crop protection regulation, regulatory simplification, authorisation procedures, active substance and product evaluations, agricultural competitiveness and innovation. A dedicated roundtable with national competent authorities will also provide delegates with first-hand perspectives from those responsible for implementing Europe’s regulatory framework.
As the voice of Europe’s post-patent plant protection industry, ECCA has designed the conference to help companies navigate the complexities of the European regulatory landscape while creating opportunities to engage directly with the policymakers, regulators and industry leaders shaping its future.
