More than 50 pesticide active ingredients fail EU review

Original: Mehr als 50 Wirkstoffe scheitern an EU-Prüfung Mehr als 50 Pestizid-Wirkstoffe sind seit 2011 bei der Wiederzulassung in

An analysis by BR Data finds that more than 50 pesticide active ingredients have failed re-approval in the EU since 2011. The European Commission now wants to scrap exactly this review process, and scientists warn of potential health and environmental risks if it is abolished. The findings are drawing criticism of the Commission's plan.

Why now: The EU Commission's plan to abolish the re-approval review, combined with the new BR Data analysis, has sparked debate over pesticide safety regulation.
