I voted in favour of the Klaß and Breyer reports on the use of pesticides because they signal progress towards better consideration of the impact on the environment and health of the use of plant protection products. In particular I welcome the adoption of the socialist proposal to prohibit the use of pesticides in residential or sensitive areas. I am also delighted by the adoption of our proposals on the systematic promotion of non-chemical techniques. However, I am sorry that the European right has opposed the introduction of targets for reducing the use of these products. There are many examples demonstrating that reduction is possible, and a gradual reduction strategy could have been introduced without endangering the industry and jobs. Once again, the right has given preference to profits… However, small steps count, and these reports are a step in the right direction towards the sustainable agriculture of tomorrow and a healthier environment for our children."@en1
