Dear Minister,
We, the 49 undersigned organisations committed to protecting human health and the environment, call on you to press for and support a ban of the pesticide active substance flufenacet. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), recently concluded that flufenacet is an endocrine disruptor, affecting thyroid function which can indirectly impact brain development, placing pregnant women and newborns at risk. Consequently, flufenacet is a dangerous substance that fails to meet the approval criteria of Pesticide Regulation 1107/2009 and should be banned.
