La Comisión Técnica de Productos Fitosanitarios y sus Residuos (PPR) proporciona asesoramiento científico sobre la evaluación del riesgo de los plaguicidas para los operarios, los trabajadores, los consumidores y el medio ambiente. La Comisión Técnica elabora y revisa documentos de orientación en materia de evaluación del riesgo de los plaguicidas. Su labor contribuye a la evaluación de las sustancias activas utilizadas en los plaguicidas que corre a cargo de los Estados miembros ponentes y que revisa el personal de la EFSA.
Los miembros de la Comisión Técnica PPR son científicos procedentes de toda Europa con experiencia en:
- sustancias activas: químicas y microbiológicas (virus, bacterias, hongos, etc.)
- propiedades físicoquímicas (de los productos fitosanitarios y sus sustancias activas)
- métodos de análisis (de los productos fitosanitarios y sus residuos)
- toxicología y toxicología normativa
- exposición no alimentaria y evaluación del riesgo (de los productos fitosanitarios)
- exposición alimentaria y evaluación del riesgo (de los residuos de productos fitosanitarios en los alimentos y los piensos)
- destino y comportamiento ambiental (de los productos fitosanitarios)
- ecotoxicología
- ecología y dinámica de poblaciones
- exposición ecológica/ambiental y evaluación del riesgo.

Networks
EFSA’s networks consist of nationally appointed EU Member State organisations with expertise in the fields covered by the network. Representatives of the Commission and of other organisations (including those from outside the EU) with specific expertise may also be invited to participate in the work of EFSA Networks.
Networks are chaired by EFSA and supported by relevant EFSA units. Their aim is to facilitate scientific cooperation in the field of EFSA’s mission by:
- coordinating activities,
- exchanging information,
- developing and implementing joint projects,
- and exchanging expertise and best practices.
Pesticide Steering Network (PSN)
In September 2008, EFSA set up the Pesticide Steering Network. It was established to manage and plan the overall pesticide risk assessment and consider ways to further streamline the process. The main goals of the network are to:
- plan and monitor the risk assessment process;
- integrate the risk assessment and MRL setting processes;
- coordinate with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA);
- give advice on the prioritisation in the development and the updating of risk assessment guidance documents.
Mandate and composition of the network
