"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today’s vote has drawn attention to the beekeeping sector, which plays a crucial role in European agriculture by helping to maintain biodiversity and provides an income for around 600 000 workers in the European Union.
I consider the programme launched by the European Commission for monitoring the health of honeybees to be a useful one that has the aim of identifying the reasons behind their increased mortality rate in recent years. The impact of pesticides on the health of bees must be explored in more detail.
I have voted in favour of the report and I am disappointed that the reference to a correlation between some pesticides and bee mortality has not been supported, as proposed by the rapporteur. I call on the European Commission to provide greater financial aid to the beekeeping sector in the new common agricultural policy (CAP) for 2014-2020."@en1
