"As a Member representing the Hungarian Democratic Forum (
), I will be using my vote to support both of these draft legislative texts providing for stricter regulations and greater control concerning the use of plant protection products. I believe that these provisions represent a milestone on the road towards safer and healthier food production.
Substances that pose a risk to health must be withdrawn, and the overall amount of pesticides we use must be reduced. In Hungary, for example, the amount of chemicals used is 15 times less than in the Netherlands, say, and yet while they existed the European Union’s intervention stores were bursting at the seams with Hungarian maize. We therefore can and must move forward in the direction of producing fruit, vegetables and other foods using sustainable levels of plant protection. Where Member States wish to apply tougher provisions, they should continue to have the possibility of doing so. Thank you."@en1
