lpv:translated text	"The key to the sustainable use of plant protection products is rational risk limitation. We should achieve this aim by putting into effect the principles of the Directive on the sustainable use of pesticides. Each country will be obliged to draw up its own plan following the guidelines defined in the Directive. Each country should do so taking due account of local determinants and respecting any differences. The principal difference between us is the level of agricultural development. The countries that are among the new EU Member States often have enormous deficits to make up, especially as regards the quality and health of the foodstuffs produced. A reduction in the use of pesticides in these countries compared with their current level of use will backfire on us consumers. We also differ in our landscapes. In Poland, vast stretches of woodland may only be protected against pests by treatment applied from the air. It is our duty to the natural environment to protect the forests, while Parliament’s task is to define the principles for the safe use of products that protect the natural environment. The Directive has much to say about the education of farmers being the most important way of implementing the sustainable use of pesticides. It is parliament’s task to Support education and create the conditions whereby it will reach every farmer. The Directive’s guidelines should encourage both the Member States and farmers, rather than put them off."@en1
