European Commission accused of writing pesticide lobby demands into law

The Corporate Europe Observatory alleges that the European Commission and right-wing MEPs have co-written legislation with the pesticide industry, embedding industry demands into law at the expense of public health and the environment. The report focuses on the food and feed omnibus, which it says was shaped directly by pesticide lobby input. Critics frame it as an example of corporate capture of EU lawmaking, raising concerns about transparency and weakened health and environmental protections.

Why now: A new investigation alleges industry lobbyists co-drafted EU food and pesticide legislation, fueling debate over corporate influence on the Commission.
