Dear Minister Kurvinen,
We are writing to you regarding the emergency authorizations for the use of Thiamethoxam, an active substance very toxic to bees and other pollinators, used in sugar beet seeds’ coating, which is now subjected to an immediate ban. In a preliminary ruling (case C-162/21) recently published, the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) has clarified a certain number of limits, with regard to the use of article 53 of the pesticide regulation (EU) 1107/2009. The Court ruling imposes a series of changes for Member States.
