🐝🌱🐞 We fight for a pesticide-free world. The primitive toxic era comes to an end. Sustainable agriculture can feed the world, with happy and healthy farmers and citizens. With biodiversity, clean water, healthy soil and good food.

The @echa.europa.eu has officially classified #TFA as toxic to reproduction, concluding it "may damage the unborn child" and is “suspected of damaging fertility”. We urge the ban of all #PFAS #pesticides that release TFA into the environment.

📨 Today, on behalf of the End Toxic Pesticide Trade Coalition, we wrote to the environment ministers of Denmark, France, Netherlands, Austria, Luxembourg, Sweden & Norway. If a pesticide is too dangerous to use in Europe, it is too dangerous to export.

🚜 The EU negotiations on the Omnibus proposal to weaken the #pesticide regulation are being pushed through at speed, with little scrutiny, no democratic debate, and insufficient expert input.
📨 We sent an open letter to the @cy2026eu.bsky.social: www.pan-europe.info/press-releas...
Women farm workers and activists from South Africa, representing the Women on Farms Project, came to Brussels and stood face-to-face with EU policy-makers.
They shared testimonies of #pesticide exposure and their health impacts - their daily realities on farms: www.pan-europe.info/blog/ending-...
🐞🧑⚖️ On this World #BiodiversityDay, we want to highlight that complying with the law is not an option, in a democratic space: protecting public health, water quality and the environment must take precedence over profit.

🐝 Happy World Bee Day 2026!
Pesticides harm #bees. The assessment only looks at the short-term mortality rate.
Watch and listen to our interview with Professor Siome Tosi: www.pan-europe.info/blog/pestici...
Pesticide sales in the EU rose by 8% in 2024 compared to last year, reaching 316.000 tonnes, according to the latest Eurostat data. The new data refute the Commission’s claim of a 61% reduction in #pesticide use, a figure based on a flawed indicator.

🐝 On this World Bee Day, with @beelifeeu.bsky.social, we remind the EU Commission that bee protection is far from adequate. The main reason is the non-implementation of a guidance document produced by EFSA back in 2013.
Give bees a chance & ban harmful pesticides!

During the European Week Against Cancer, the Commission defended its Beating Cancer Plan, a strategy to tackle cancer from prevention to early detection. While the EU rightly focuses on tackling tobacco & pollution, #pesticides are not even mentioned.
