More than 50 pesticide ingredients fail EU safety review

Original: BR-Recherche zu Pestiziden - Mehr als 50 Wirkstoffe scheitern an EU-Prüfung Mehr als 50 Pestizid-Wirkstoffe sind seit 20

A BR Data investigation finds that more than 50 pesticide active ingredients have failed re-approval in the EU since 2011, meaning they did not meet European safety standards. The report criticises plans by the European Commission to abolish exactly this re-approval process, with scientists warning that removing the checks could allow questionable substances back onto the market.

Why now: The European Commission's plan to scrap the re-approval procedure raises concerns about pesticide safety oversight.
