Dear Guilhem de Sèze,
Regulation (EU) 1107/2009 on pesticides mentions that greenhouses are systems that prevent the release of pesticides into the environment (art.3(27)). As EFSA is aware, PAN Europe has initiated a legal procedure before the General Court of the EU on the reply from the European Commission to our Request for Internal review on the reapproval of abamectin.
PAN Europe would like to receive a series of clarifications on the work from EFSA regarding the use of pesticides in greenhouses, and abamectin in particular. Our investigations in the risk assessment of abamectin have led to many questions remaining unanswered.
