As part of the national plan Ecophyto II, the CEPP system aims at i) listing a set of actions, presenting practices and systems that lead to a reduction of pesticide use and/or environmental impact of pesticides and ii) quantifying those effects that are converted into certificates. Every year, economic players (named “obligés”) selling pesticides to professional farmers will have to gather certificates. The number of certificates collected during the year 2021 will be compared to their duty. The required number of certificates for a given ‘obligé’ is estimated on the basis of the average sales of pesticides over the period 2011-2015. In order to reach the required number of certificates, the ‘obligés’ will have to encourage and to advice the implementation of actions listed in the catalogue of actions. The CEPP regulation, published on 09/05/17 and 01/08/17, listed a set of 28 action-sheets. 2016-2020 is an experimental period in which all stakeholders are committed so that innovative practices and systems for a reduced use and impacts of pesticides may be identified and available for all crops over France
