"The beekeeping sector is of incalculable importance to European agriculture. As well as offering a source of direct or indirect income for around 600 000 European citizens, the sector actually provides an extremely important agricultural service through pollination and also helps maintain biodiversity. Unfortunately, however, in recent years, we have witnessed a constant increase in honeybee mortality, and the lack of absolute figures on the number of hives, beekeepers and colonies in the EU makes the reasons for this rather unclear. Certainly, one of the stress factors is the presence of toxic agents in the environment, such as the improper or excessive use of pesticides. As I am voting in favour, I therefore consider it necessary to appeal to the European institutions to try and protect the European beekeeping sector more carefully, also ensuring greater benefits in terms of the labelling of apicultural products."@en1
