"By opposing evaluation criteria which are far too weak given the
danger that pesticides pose to bees, we wanted to ask a simple question:
are we serious about protecting the environment? Are we serious about
protecting living organisms? Are we serious about the Green Deal?” said
Environment Committee Chair Pascal Canfin (Renew, FR). “The result is
very clear: thanks to our mobilisation, a very large majority of the
European Parliament did not want watered-down legislation on the
protection of bees. We are now asking the Commission to review its text,
and to present us with legislation that eliminates pesticides that pose
the greatest danger to pollinators”, he added.
Next steps
Parliament blocked the Commission proposal by adopting the resolution
with an absolute majority of its members, with 533 votes to 67 and 100
abstentions. The European Commission now has to submit a new proposal.
Background
Members highlight that according to the Commission,
there is a “dramatic decline in the occurrence and diversity of all
kinds of European wild insect pollinators, including wild bees,
hoverflies, butterflies and moths. Numerous pollinator species are
extinct or threatened with extinction”.
In the EU alone, around 84 % of crop species and 78 % of wild flower
species depend, at least in part, on animal pollination. Up to almost
EUR 15 billion of the EU’s annual agricultural output is directly
attributed to insect pollinators.
