GN23-07 Plant Protection Products: Draft EU Sustainable Use Directive
The Environment Committee (Envi) of the EU Parliament are currently preparing a directive on the sustainable use of pesticide which will impose further restrictions, introduce buffer zones and introduce a pesticide tax or levy across the EU. The industry is united in the opposition to these amendments and will continue to work together, in a co-ordinated manner at a national and European level. We are in the process of co-ordinated lobbying of all MEPs in the run up to the Plenary in October. You can help by writing to your MEPs and explain to them the impact that these regulations will have on your own farm businesses - often it is individual examples that have a lobbying advantage.
