"Commissioner, I, too, resent the fact that human health is exposed to risk, for example during aerial spraying, and that pesticide use is constantly increasing due to a growing resistance against plant protection. There is no doubt that we need to modernise the rules on safe pesticide use in Europe. I regret however, that here in Parliament, through the Greens and left-wing Members, preference was given to populist proposals such as a ban on pesticide use either in full or at a local level. I consider that to be irresponsible. We are talking here about plant medicines and banning them would be equivalent to banning the use of drugs in human medicine. Both are of course poisonous if used improperly: hence we must devote our efforts to promoting standards and disseminating information, rather than adopting scientifically unfounded, indiscriminate and overly bureaucratic measures. Ladies and gentlemen, by virtue of common sense I did not support the majority of your proposals in the package. As such I do not believe that the Klaß report as approved is very successful."@en1
