Legal framework for the registration of non-harmonized fertilizers – Efficacy trials

Abstract

On June 15, 2015, the decree-law no. 103/2015 was published in order to establish the rules and to simplify the administrative procedures related to the national market position of fertilizers. This legislation also aimed to contribute to the consolidation of fertilizers legislation, bringing these matters together in a single diploma. The previous registration of a fertilizer in the national registration system of non-harmonized fertilizer materials, before being placed on the national market, is now mandatory, and the Direção Geral de Atividades Económicas (DGAE) is the competent authority for such registration.
