Ban pesticide exports
Dear Member of the European Parliament,
While congratulating you for your election, we would like to draw your attention to the pressing matter concerning the export of banned and hazardous pesticides that is on the EU's agenda and needs processing further.
Loopholes in European Law allow chemical companies like Bayer and Syngenta to carry on producing hazardous pesticides for export long after they have been banned for use in the European Union to protect the environment or the health of its farmers and citizens.
