Figure 3.5 shows the number of monitored pesticides for each country in the time period 2007 to 2017. The number of reported pesticide substances varies between 1 (Norway and North Macedonia) and 319 (France). Overall, there is neither correlation between the reported monitoring sites under consideration of the amount of arable land, nor the number of reported monitoring sites and reported monitored pesticide substances.
