"I voted in favour.
The environmental and health implications of the use of pesticides have been the subject of debate at European level, and the European Parliament has adopted directives on the authorisation and sale of pesticides.
This measure sets out essential requirements for safety and the protection of health to which machinery for pesticide application placed on the internal market must conform in order to enjoy free circulation within the Community. In addition to protecting consumers, the legislation is also aimed at safeguarding the health and safety of workers.
The costs incurred by manufacturers are likely to be passed on to users through price rises. However, the consequent average annual reduction in the consumption of pesticides will enable users to make savings that will compensate for any increase in prices.
The proposed directive achieves the objective of guaranteeing a common level of environmental protection, while at the same time avoiding a fragmented legislative framework at Community level, which could generate inflated costs for businesses intending to operate outside their national borders."@en1
