Call upon Members of the European Parliament to support a Strong SUR at Plenary Vote, for the future of our farmers, citizens and biodiversity
Dear Members of the European Parliament,
We write to you in view of the plenary vote on the proposal for a Regulation on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides (SUR), on 22nd of November. The SUR is of very broad public interest, and can have far-reaching impacts on the well-being and welfare of current and future generations. Sustainable farming practices and a healthy environment are the essential foundation of a prosperous future for EU citizens, ecosystems and agricultural areas.
Leukämie-Risiko von Glyphosat: Bitte schützen Sie die Gesundheit der Bürgerinnen und Bürger durch die Ablehnung der Glyphosat-Wiedergenehmigung
Sehr geehrter Bundesgesundheitsminister Professor Lauterbach,
neuste Studienergebnisse weisen einen Zusammenhang von Glyphosat mit der Entstehung von Leukämie bereits in jungen Jahren nach. Mit diesem Brief möchten wir Sie daher eindringlich dazu auffordern, sich in Ihrer Fraktion gegen eine Wiedergenehmigung des Herbizidwirkstoffs Glyphosat auszusprechen und die Regierung darin zu bestärken, am 16. November 2023 gegen den Vorschlag der Kommission zu stimmen, Glyphosat für weitere zehn Jahre zu genehmigen.
