So far, farmers' reported spray log data in the Danish Environmental Protection Agency's SJI system has only been used to collect data for statistics, report these statistics to the EU Commission and as a basis for selecting companies for the Danish Agriculture Authority's physical inspection visits. As something new, from the next planning period, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency will introduce the possibility that the information can be used for direct control of the use of illegal pesticides.
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency will for the first time inform about this possibility by reporting in the SJI system for the planning period 2020/2021, ie for the period 1 August 2020 to 31 July 2021, which has a reporting deadline of 31 March 2022. It will thus be after 31 March 2022 possible for the Danish Environmental Protection Agency to enforce violations of the use of illegal pesticides solely on the basis of the report in SJI.
