The Brazilian Senate has approved a long-debated bill to streamline the registration process for agricultural defenders , allowing for more defendants to be used in plantations and easing approval and registration rules. The Ministry of Agriculture will manage registrations, with Anvisa retaining the power to disapprove them. The registration process must be completed within two years, but temporary registrations can be granted for defendants intended for research and experimentation within 30 days. Senator Fabiano Contarato removed a provision for automatic registration of OCDE-authorized products. The bill, which has already passed the Chamber of Deputies, awaits the president's approval or veto.
