REGULATION IMPLICATIONS ON BANNING THE TREATMENT OF SEEDS WITH NEONICOTINOID INSECTICIDES ON THE SEED MARKET IN ROMANIA

IULIANA IONEL IONEL

Abstract


Having in view that (EC) Regulation 485/2013 forbids the utilization of insecticides that contain active substances from the neonicotinoid group for the treatment of seeds, except for the winter cereals, this restriction being valid for two years, and in this period the impact on the bee population will be evaluated, the present study intends to quantify the impact of this measure on the Romanian market. In Romania, a series of dangerous pests is present, which in the absence of seed treatment can bring about serious damages. The results of the study reveal a negative impact at the level of farmers, seed industry, agricultural input traders and the state budget; overall, Romania’s agriculture will have annual losses ranging from 623,889 million euro in the variant of production diminution by 20% to 922,759 thousand euro in the variant of production diminution by 40%, adding to the crop re-establishment costs on 15% of the area totaling 562 thousand euro.
