lpv:translated text	"Madam President, today’s debate is of enormous significance for European agriculture and for environmental protection. There are many people in favour of the use of pesticides and many who are opposed. However, I believe that the farmers’ guiding principle should be: ‘as few pesticides as possible, just those that are essential’, and the guiding principle of producers and distributors should be the precautionary principle, which should be the supreme principle as regards the lives and the health of consumers in every case where the introduction of new pesticides raises concerns, either because there is some ambivalence in the results of scientific research, or if there has been insufficient time to be able to say categorically that a given product or substance is harmless to humans and animals. In the context of sustainable use of pesticides, I believe that the following steps should be taken: first of all, the Commission as well as Member States should provide periodic training, and advisory and educational programmes that are financed at least in part by companies that manufacture pesticides. There should be coordinated monitoring and data collection with regard to the harmful effects of pesticides on human health and the environment, and this should include long-term research programmes and the imposition of sanctions on polluters. A coordinated system should be set up to collect data on the production, import, export, sales, distribution and use of pesticides, and this should be accessible to the public. Agricultural practices that promote the use of low doses of pesticides should be encouraged, which will help change the overall usage of these preparations. Appropriate checks should be introduced and the import into the EU of agricultural food products produced with the aid of chemicals should be banned."@en1
