"I have voted today for the Tabajdi report, which provides a comprehensive package to support honeybees in Europe, and I would like to thank Mr Tabajdi for all his hard work on this. However, I have also been active in highlighting the plight of Europe’s honeybees and the harmful effects posed to them by neonicotinoids, and there has been strong support for this issue among my constituents in the South-East of England. Earlier this year, over a hundred members of this House signed a written declaration calling for their use to be banned until more conclusive research becomes available.
I note that this call was also in the rapporteur’s original text for this report and, like him, I was very disappointed that it was not in the final text. Therefore, in keeping with the essence of the written declaration, I supported the alternative motion put forward today, as it called for an EU ban on neonicotinoids. I congratulate the rapporteur again on his hard work and hope that, after the passage of this report, the Commission will consider implementing an EU ban, along with the measures called for here today."@en1
