I understand. However, it will depend on the change requested. Sometimes, a previously unknown toxicity or something similar is discovered. It may be justified in some cases. You're probably right in saying that, in most cases, the industry could be given a buffer period to improve efficiency. I understand your point.
You spoke about studies carried out with other countries. We've worked extensively on this issue during this study. As I said, we believe that sharing expertise could be beneficial. I would like to hear your thoughts on this. We could even share responsibility for testing or analyzing new products with trusted jurisdictions. However, we must maintain our decision‑making independence at home. We must remain independent and refrain from automatically adopting something approved in other places, because the climate and soil may be different. Some products used here may not be permitted in other countries, or vice versa. This would have consequences. How can we improve our efficiency without taking any chances?
Everyone agrees that the approval process is quite slow.
How can we share our expertise with our neighbours without losing our sovereignty? We shouldn't take any chances. We need to test solutions here at home, in our climate and soil type, for example.
