"We have today voted in favour of Mrs Van Brempt’s report but believe it to be crucial to draw attention to the fact that the use of pesticides can never be regarded as a sustainable alternative, irrespective of whether there is a reduction in their use. Instead, the sustainable use of pesticides gives the green light to the spreading of poison.
We have the following comments on the actual proposal.
The limit value should relate to a variety of different pesticides, plus their breakdown products.
The proceeds from fees should, most importantly, be used for clearing up in accordance with the ‘polluter pays’ principle.
If pesticides are used at any stage at all in the production process, the final product should be labelled to that effect.
Finally, it should always be possible for a country to pioneer the right to maintain and introduce bans on the use of pesticides, partly on the basis of a national assessment in terms of the precautionary principle."@en1
