Désherbage des voies ferrées : quel futur pour les herbicides ?
Concilier le défi du développement durable et de la sécurité ferroviaire

L’Union Internationale du Chemin de fer, en collaboration avec SNCF, propose un séminaire international les 24 et 25 mais 2016 au siège de l’UIC : « Désherbage des voies ferrées : quel futur pour les herbicides ? ». Ce séminaire prend le relais d’une première édition fructueuse consacrée à la Maîtrise de la Végétation dans son ensemble,organisée par Network Rail à Coventry en octobre 2013.

Cet événement organisé par le groupe de travail « Sustainable Land Use » est axé sur les enjeux de l’usage des herbicides en milieu ferroviaire, au niveau européen.
Parmi les principaux thèmes abordés : l’état de l’art du désherbage, le cadre réglementaire et les procédures d’approbation des substances actives et produits commerciaux, les alternatives aux traitements chimiques, les systèmes de traçabilité et de gestion de données et l’impact environnemental en contexte ferroviaire des traitements herbicides.

Les parties prenantes sont invitées à cette occasion : outre l’UIC et la CER ; l’EFSA, la National Chemichal Authorities, les institutionnels de la santé et de l’environnement et les fournisseurs de produits.
