"Increased mortality among honeybees must be taken seriously. Honeybees play a fundamental role in ensuring environmental balance and food production in Europe. Indeed, roughly three quarters of European food production depends on honeybee pollination. Furthermore, the beekeeping sector provides income for 600 000 European citizens. That is why the European Union needs to do more to protect this near-threatened species. That is why we want to set up national surveillance systems and to develop harmonised standards at EU level to improve the collection of data on the health of honeybees. The Member States must also share the results of their research in this area. Most importantly of all, however, farmers must be made aware of the use of ‘bee friendly’ pesticides."@en1
