Dear Sir/Madam,

We would like to raise your attention to the undergoing evaluation of the insecticide fipronil within the framework of Directive 91/414/EEC on the placing of plant protection products in the EU market. In our opinion, the risk evaluation of this active substance fails to take into consideration the risk that fipronil poses to bees. Please find enclosed a succinct note setting out a beekeepers point of view about the fipronil's assessment report.
