lpv:translated text	". As draftsman of the opinion on water quality, I saw that pesticides were implicated in the degradation of the environment, and particularly of surface and coastal waters, because they persist over time, can be transported over long distances, and constitute a diffuse form of pollution, which is difficult to locate resulting from runoffs, direct losses in the soil and the air, the washing of plants by the rain and so on. More generally, the current use of pesticides in our agriculture can have damaging consequences for our health. The Commission’s legislative proposals on the use of pesticides, and procedures for authorisation and placing on the market were therefore very keenly awaited. However, I find the targets inadequate and that is why, in Parliament’s plenary, I unsuccessfully supported the position adopted by the Committee on the Environment asking for an EU target of a 25% reduction in the frequency of application of pesticides within 5 years and a 50% reduction within 10 years, and buffer zones of 10 metres between fields and water courses. I am particularly sorry that this is a first reading and that the text is likely to be watered down even more."@en1
