These guidelines are aimed principally at government bodies responsible for regulating pesticide distribution and sales, and trading standards, in agriculture, public health and other pesticide use situations. They are advisory and aim not to create conflicts with existing laws and regulations. The guidelines will also provide directions for the pesticide industry, trade associations, those developing adverti sing or other promotional material for pesticide products, public interest organizations monitoring pesticide sales and distribution, and other interested parties.
