"In Europe, 84% of plant species and 76% of food production depend on pollination from bees. The report acknowledges that pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) negatively affect these populations. It blames monoculture for the disappearance of melliferous flora. However, it calls for more monitoring and studies of the effects of pesticides and monoculture, but retains the paradigm of intensive, industrialised agriculture. It limits itself to calling for training on the use of plant health products that benefit bees.
The issue of GMOs is the most serious. The report calls for scientific research into their effects, but does not call for a ban as would have been hoped under the precautionary principle in force in the EU.
The report calls for incentives for the pharmaceutical industry. I disagree: there is a need to help producers adopt new modes of production and help combat the identified causes, but not to create a new pharmaceutical business to ensure the perpetuation of new practices and the creation of new risks.
I welcome the ban on importing exotic species of the genus
the harmonisation of labelling and the increased traceability of honey.
I consider it essential that Parliament identify the causes of the problems and this report does so. Nevertheless, it takes steps that are too small to resolve these causes, so I abstained."@en1
