lpv:translated text	". Madam President, I have been stressing the importance of this evening’s debate because what we have at stake here today is nothing less than our vision of Europe’s farming future and the need to move away from intensive agriculture that clearly causes too much pollution, towards sustainable agriculture that will respect biodiversity. This is a challenge to which Europe must rise for three reasons: firstly, as more scandals and more health risks are uncovered, public opinion is now set against the use of pesticides; secondly the majority of farmers themselves want the European Union to help them change their practices so that they no longer have to choose between keeping their health and boosting their profitability; and thirdly, bee-keepers all over Europe are calling for strict legislation to stop the sale of pesticides that have not been evaluated for their impact on bees. It is therefore vital that the ambitious stance taken by the Committee on the Environment should be confirmed in tomorrow’s vote on the three reports by Hiltrud Breyer, Christa Klaß and Irena Belohorská. We must confirm that health and the environment are foremost; that specific measures are needed to protect those most vulnerable to harm; that the most dangerous substances will be covered by the precautionary principle; that the use of non-chemical alternatives will indeed be encouraged; and that aerial spraying will henceforth be banned in principle. In short, we must translate into practical action the concerns voiced by the very many men and women in Europe who – as Mrs Isler-Béguin has mentioned – have written to us urging that farming should not in future be dependent on chemicals."@en1
