title: The role of science in pesticide management. Report by the rapporteur.
abstract: The workshop program reviewed "the existing situation" on the first day, "background to existing divergency in pesticide regulation" and "pest control in the future" on the second day, and "analysis of the role of Science in enhancing regulatory wisdom" on the last day. This report reviews the topics in the order in which they affected the underlying question posed to the workshop--"how is it that the same pesticide can be regulated differently in different countries when the data are the same?" In this regard, the key presentations at the workshop were those which described results of international reviews of the ways in which countries regulated pesticides and how different countries could reach different decisions based on the same scientific information base.
