"Pesticides are among the most dangerous chemicals, as they are designed to kill and they are released deliberately into the environment and onto food. Only about 1% of a pesticide actually reaches its target. Therefore, when we prepare legislation on the use and on the permitting of pesticides, we have to keep in mind what is in the interests of the different stakeholders. It is in the interests of farmers to have a high harvest and good quality products with low costs. If they can attain this goal with less pesticide, they can save on costs and provide healthier products. It is in the interests of citizens to have safe, cheap products and pesticide-free drinking water. Therefore, using less and safer pesticides is in the interests of almost everyone.
If we want to achieve tangible pesticide use reduction in Europe, we need effective national plans for reduction, focusing on the local circumstances and using local opportunities."@en1
