EU pesticides protection scheme faces further delays
Original: More delay in EU’s protection against hazardous pesticides
The European Union has again postponed measures intended to better protect people and the environment from hazardous pesticides, according to campaign group PAN Europe. The delay concerns the EU's efforts to restrict or phase out the most harmful pesticide active substances. Environmental organisations are criticising the slow pace, arguing that continued exposure to dangerous chemicals is unnecessary while rules sit unresolved.
Why now: Environmental groups and EU policy watchers are reacting to another postponement of long-awaited pesticide protection rules.
