"Mr President, I am delighted that attempts to ban all anti-coagulants and rodenticides have failed. Had such a ban won majority support, it would have led – as we have heard already – to an explosion of rats and mice across Europe, with the consequent damage to stored crops, farms and domestic properties on a large scale. It is estimated that seven per cent of all house fires and 50 per cent of all farm fires are caused by rodents gnawing electric cables. Sadly, the Environment Committee did adopt one specific ban of a widely used second generation, anti-coagulant rodenticide. As we have heard, that rodenticide is Difenacoum. I hope the House will vote against Amendment 243 so as to enable this effective rat poison to continue in use, particularly as it has already undergone rigorous scientific assessment and has been through a proper and detailed regulatory process."@en1
