The evaluation presented by the EESC in this information report is based primarily on the views and opinions of civil society organisations gathered during fact-finding trips to a number of EU Member States (Bulgaria, Croatia, Spain, Ireland and Sweden), and on the responses to the online questionnaire developed for this purpose. In particular, stakeholders were asked to state their views on the effectiveness and relevance of EU legislation on pesticide use, and on the level of their involvement in the development and implementation of the legislation.
