CADDY History
To facilitate the newly established Directive 91/414/EEC
procedure for (re-)registration of plant protection products ECPA,
the EU Commission and the European Member States agreed in 1995 to
jointly develop an electronic standard for the submission of plant
protection dossiers in Europe under the acronym "CADDY".
The "Joint EU Member States / ECPA Data Transfer Steering
Group" consisting of five experts from European Member States,
a representative from the EU Commission and five experts from ECPA
was established in June 1995 to work out a solution to meet their
strategic goals:
To facilitate
- the provision of dossiers for pesticides to regulatory authorities,
- the long-term archiving of such dossiers,
- and the accessibility of information contained in such dossiers in a cost-effective manner using electronic media.
In mid 1996 the US and Canadian authorities and industry joined this steering group and the group was renamed the Joint CADDY Steering Group (JCSG). Representatives from the Pesticide Regulatory Management Agency of Canada (PMRA) and the Canadian industry and representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States and the American Crop Protection Association (ACPA) joined the group, and provided their invaluable input for the development of the current CADDY retrieval software until 1999.
