Dear Ms. Gallina,
With this letter, PAN Europe urges the European Commission to promptly propose the non-renewal of four pesticide active substances identified as endocrine disruptors by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The Pesticide Regulation (1107/2009), which aims to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment, prohibits the approval of substances with such harmful properties. We call upon the Commission to present these non-renewal proposals to the Member States during the upcoming Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food, and Feed (SCoPAFF) meeting on 9 and 10 July. However, we regret that the agenda for the July meeting does not include proposals for banning these harmful substances.
