The introduction of microbial control agents into the European market for practical use in pest and disease control is a very slow and costly process. This is partly due to unnecessarily strict regulations as metabolites from microorganisms has been assessed in the same way as metabolites from synthetic sources. In a new article, recommendations are given for new risk assessments in the EU that will benefit all stakeholders.
