Obsolete Pesticides
Main sources for all information on „Obsolete Pesticides“ in
this report are:
1. Comprehensive databases and reports from the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, mainly
Prevention and Disposal of Obsolete and Unwanted
Pesticide Stocks in Africa and the Near East: Inventory
of Obsolete, Unwanted And/Or Banned Pesticides, Rome,
1999 (Stocks by country)”; quoted as “FAO 1999“
2. Reports and correspondence from and with the German
Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit GTZ and
Pesticide Action Network UK
3. Greenpeace research in North Africa and Cameroon.
4. A new source was used in this version of the report,
namely the updated webpage and public presentations of
the „Global Crop Protection Federation“, GCPF
(homepage www.gcpf.org).
However we found that the industry’s information is in many
cases highly misleading – therefor our comments on some of
them. (see also above: product responsibility)
