The highest EU court made two groundbreaking rulings in our long-running case on the way countries assess pesticides. This is a very important legal success against dangerous pesticides! We also appealed against a decision by the lower court on the approval of bee killer cypermethrin. This new case is the first time ever a pesticide authorisation has been directly challenged at this level. And a new EFSA report reveals that 41% of European fruit and vegetables contain pesticide residues. With our partners, we found that stopping the export of EU-banned pesticides would not harm the EU economy and would have a strong and positive impact on people’s health and the environment in importing countries. It would also reduce pesticide residues in imported food: despite their ban in the EU, six reprotoxic pesticides, including Thiacloprid and Mancozeb, are still present in imported food.
