Pesticides are a hot topic. The EU Commission is trying to please the chemical industry by weakening the protection of our health and the environment. Thanks to many reactions, they retreated from the worst plan, but still opened the door to unlimited pesticide approvals. This will be discussed with EU Member States and the Parliament in the upcoming months. Cyprus will preside over the EU Council in the first half of 2026, so our Cypriot partners asked the government to prioritise pesticide issues affecting public health, water resources and the environment. A legal opinion organised by German organisations, including PAN Germany, concludes that the proposal and procedure are not in line with EU law. And in the meantime, we won a major case at the highest EU Court, which cancelled the decision of the EU Commission to re-authorise toxic insecticide cypermethrin. And with our members, we tested apples in 13 European countries and found a cocktail of often very harmful pesticides. Despite promises 20 years ago, there is still no EU protocol to assess the effect of pesticide cocktails.
