Dear Commissioner Hansen,
We, the undersigned civil society groups, are writing to express our strong support following your statement at the Agricultural and Fisheries Council on 27th of January, in which you committed to ensuring that food imported into the EU meets the same standards as food produced within the EU. In this regard, we call on you to take action under the EU Vision for Agriculture and Food to ensure – to the fullest extent possible – that imported food is not grown using pesticides banned in the EU.
