"I have voted in favour of this text because the increase in the mortality of bees could have a very serious impact on food production in Europe and on the stability of the environment, given that the majority of plants are pollinated by these insects.
The European Union must increase its investments in research into new medicines, coordinating their efforts to protect bees which are fast becoming a species in danger of extinction. The European States should bring together their various threads of research on disease prevention, sharing their discoveries with laboratories, beekeepers, farmers and industries, in order to avoid overlaps and unnecessary wastage.
More than anything, the presence of toxic agents in the environment, such as pesticides, is causing a veritable massacre of these insects. For this reason, it is also necessary to intervene by supporting special training programmes aimed at farmers in order to make them aware of the effects of these products and of the possibility of using alternative methods which have a lower impact on the environment."@en1
