A quarter million Europeans are urging the European Commission (EC) to reinstate pesticide reduction policies through a petition conducted by environmental activist platforms Ekō and WeMove in collaboration with Pesticide Action Network (PAN) Europe. PAN alleges that the EC has “evaded” pesticide reduction in its recent communications, noting that the issue was not addressed in the Mission letters to the Commissioners-Designates. It presented the petition results ahead of the hearings for the incoming Commissioners.
