SPISE Working Group (SWG)
5th European Workshop on Standardized Procedure for
the Inspection of Sprayers
in Europe – SPISE 5
http://spise.jki.bund.de
A three-day workshop at the
Agropolis International
Lavalette Campus
1000 Avenue Agropolis
MONTPELLIER, France
October 15 to 17, 2014
5th European Workshop on Standardised Procedure for the Inspection of
Sprayers in Europe -SPISE 5-
1.
Welcome
The SPISE 5-Workshop offers the possibility of getting to know the provisions on
inspection of plant protection equipment stated by Article 8 of EU Directive
2009/128/EC, which are binding for all Member States, to interpret these correctly
and to discuss each one of them. In addition, the Workshop gives the participants
the chance to discuss on further specifications which the Member States should
develop and harmonise by themselves (subsidiarity) and to put them into operation.
Representatives from the European Commission are invited with the aim to ensure a
link with the regulatory sector.
It will be particularly interesting to see how far the implementation of this Directive
has advanced in the Member States, which problems have arisen and where there is
likely to be a need for further coordination between the Member States.
One of the key issues of the SPISE 5 workshop will be the achievement of same
professional levels of the inspection carried out in the contemplable countries and as
an important consequence the mutual recognition of this.
The participants are called upon to contribute their experience and ideas through
lectures and posters so that we can all learn from one another, thus contributing to a
harmonised high-quality technical inspection for air-assisted sprayers in Europe.
Up to now the following workshops took place: The 1st European Workshop, -SPISE
1-, took place in April 2004 prompted by the publication of European Standard
13790. The 2nd European Workshop, -SPISE 2-, April 2007, provided the MS with
information packages, where most of the needed documents can be find. The 3rd
European Workshop, -SPISE 3-, took place from 22 to 24 September 2009 in Brno
(CZ). Here the European Commission's representatives from DG-Environment and
DG-Enterprise and the European organisations ECPA, CEMA and COPA attended and
made clear their points of view at the beginning. The draft prepared and presented
by the SPISE Working Group, 'Proposal for uniform enforcement of inspection in the
Member States', can be seen as a contribution on how equipment inspections
according to Article 8 of the Directive can be implemented in national legislation. At
Lana in the South Tyrolean region of Italy the 4th SPISE workshop were held in
March 2012. Due to the special surrounding air-assisted sprayers for bush and tree
cultures were the focus of that workshop, not least because the advisory ring
(Beratungsring) has developed an exemplary procedure over the past few decades
for inspecting the sprayers.

Montpellier
Neighbouring the Provence area in southern France, Montpellier is the ideal place to
stay and take advantage of the seashore and the many hidden treasures of the
Languedoc-Roussillon region. Discover major UNESCO World Heritage Sites, scenic
villages and landscapes and vast natural areas such as the Camargue marshland, and
the Cévennes and Pyrénées mountains.
How to get to Montpellier
The “Aéroport International de Montpellier Méditerranée” is located approximately 12
km south-east of the city centre close to the coast. The airport was used in 2009 by
around 1.2 million passengers.
Montpellier is served by railway, including TGV highspeed trains. Montpellier's main
railway station is Saint-Roch. There are plans to construct a high-speed railway
linking Nîmes and Montpellier with the LGV Méditerranée.
