lpv:translated text	"Today, the European Parliament refused to accede to calls by environmental fundamentalists for unworkable rules on the sustainable use of pesticides. The main bone of contention was the proposal by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety to ban the use of pesticides within 10 metres of water bodies. This would have disastrous consequences for administrators of public spaces and recreational areas such as golf courses in countries such as the Netherlands where much of their surface is covered by water. The outcome of the vote is a compromise between environmental protection and workable rules for authorities and entrepreneurs. We have a collective responsibility for precluding risks, and it is indeed true that in the use of pesticides, ‘the fewer the better’, but the rules must be realistic and workable. If alternatives are available, they must be used, but it is wishful thinking to ban all uses of pesticides by law and think that this will be without consequences for our economy and society."@en1
