Pesticide Action Network (PAN) Europe is part of a larger network of over 600 non-governmental organisations, institutions and individuals in more than 60 countries worldwide. PAN Europe is the regional centre for Europe alongside four other autonomous regional centres; North America, South America, Asia-Pacific and Africa. Today, PAN Europe counts 47 members among consumer, public health, and environmental protection organisations, women’s groups and educational associations, from 28 European countries of which 23 are in the EU.
PAN Europe’s main objectives are to promote EU policy and legislation to reduce dependency on pesticides, to advocate sustainable alternatives, to raise awareness of the risks of exposure to pesticides both for our health and the environment, and to provide its expertise for an adequate implementation and further development of EU legislation and policies.
