EU plant protection labelling gets a digital upgrade
If your product authorisation touches plant protection (or sits close enough to the PPP/biocides boundary) Commission Regulation (EU) 2026/1123 deserves your attention. The regulation replaces the 2011 labelling framework for plant protection products. The headline change is a mandatory digital label by 2030. That's the part getting coverage.

EU PFAS regulation state (as of February 2026)
PFAS regulation in the European Union is no longer a single policy debate.
