Dear Commissioner,
We are writing to you ahead of the Commission’s discussion of eight Directive proposals to authorise pesticides active substances1 . Members States’ representatives have rightly rejected the Commission’s initial proposal in the relevant regulatory committee2 . Even considering the restrictions on crops and doses, these substances pose real threats to farmers, consumers and the environment. A detailed overview of the hazards and risks regarding each of the eight substances which were highlighted by the Commission itself, and several EU and international agencies’ classifications are provided in the Annex.
