The SPISE Working Group was established during the first SPISE workshop 2004. There the participants welcomed the thought that a working group should work on further steps for the harmonisation and mutual acceptance of equipment inspections and should prepare a second European SPISE-Workshop. A constant exchange of information should be made possible between the working group and consultations going on between the EC and MS on improving the sustainability of plant protection.

The 6 members of the SPISE working group are coming from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and The Netherlands. They represent the member states with the most experience in the fields of inspection of sprayers at that time.
