The Special Committee on EU authorisation procedure for pesticdes (PEST) has the responsibility of investigating how pesticides are admitted to the European market.
The special committee is a response to concerns raised about the risk posed by the herbicide substance glyphosate. The herbicide had its marketing licence renewed by EU member states for five years in November 2017.
