held on 07.17.2013 in Tripoli and 22.07.2013 in Patras meetings of the Steering Committee, the Division of Agronomy GEOTEE Peloponnese & Western. Central Greece, agronomic bodies and private agronomists.

The meetings were mainly involved in the issue of institutionalization of prescriptions in the distribution of pesticides. Heard many opinions from those present colleagues that led to the common position by an overwhelming majority vote.

The Common Position adopted is as follows:
1. The agronomic sector is consistent with the introduction of compulsory presence and take scientific responsibility by signing the agronomist in all agricultural inputs (eg prescribing, electronic recording). The presence of scientific agriculturist welcomed not only in the case of pesticides, but an application and fertilizers and propagating material
2. Under the specific conditions in plant protection in our country to establish incompatibility between distributor and prescriber are against colleagues who attended the meetings. Therefore requested the deletion of the relevant provisions included in the draft law of the Ministry of Rural Development & Food
3. Regarding the launch of the electronic recording of the agricultural medicines, which is decreed by Law 4036, should be extended to the start date as yet not ready electronic platform data entry. The launch will be done when the program is compl ete the data entry (platform) and given six months to make this experiment in order to avoid any problems in the market of plant protection products and their colleagues from potential problems and glitches
4. Along with the approval process polynomoschediou should be set up working groups with the participation of GEOTEE for drafting the implementing Presidential Decrees, especially in the part of prescribing. These groups should consider important issues such as amateur, crop micro-deprived approvals of cocultures eg vegetable etc.
5. Regarding penalties on the management of obsolete pesticides should be reconsidered their height the moment not organized collection and management system of these products in the current legislation is waste

addition to the meeting of Patras and raised the following issues:
1. Within the implementing Presidential Decrees should consider the establishment of confining the provision prescribing in order to safeguard the scientific validity of the service but also to prevent possible unfair competition.
2. In view of the creation of an electronic platform should consider these interfaces with the system monitoring plots to be directly entered data but also can provide information for each parcel will be affected by electronic recording or prescribing
