"I voted in favour of this report on honeybee health and the challenges facing the beekeeping sector to combat the increasing mortality of bees and to coordinate actions to protect a species that will soon be under threat. The beekeeping sector is an integral part of European agriculture and, via pollination, provides important environmental, economic and social public goods, thus ensuring food security and maintaining biodiversity. It is estimated that 84% of plant species and 76% of food production in Europe are dependent on pollination by bees. A decrease in the number of bee colonies has been reported in both the EU and other parts of the world. That is why we are calling on the European Commission to take a number of measures in different areas such as research, veterinary products or the common agricultural policy (CAP) after 2013 in order to combat this phenomenon. This also requires remedying the lack of reliable and comparable data concerning the number of hives, beekeepers and honeybee colony losses in the EU."@en1
