How are endocrine disruptors considered in pesticide legislation?

The new EU regulation on the placing on the market of plant protection products, introduces endocrine disruption, which is a hazard-based criteria, as an immediate ban criteria (“cut-off criteria”). However, substances showing endocrine disruption properties can be subject to a derogation and be approved for maximum 5 years if it can be shown that the substance can be used safely and is “necessary to protect plant health”.
