"Madam President, I am happy to support the Agriculture Committee’s report on honeybee health. I was, in fact, the person who drew up the Environment Committee’s opinion and was not able to vote for it because it was hijacked by non-scientifically-validated concerns about pesticides, which were knee-jerk and disproportionate. I regret that this also found its way into an alternative resolution, which I am pleased was rejected by this plenary.
As we move into a world containing our seven billionth citizen, it is more and more important that we make sure that agricultural production and productivity move forward. I welcome the Commission’s extra resource to Member States. I very much welcome the setting up of the reference laboratory in France. I would recommend all Members visit or at least have a look at the work that they are doing. We need to do far more to develop veterinary medicines to tackle the effect of the Varroa virus and parasites, and we need to stick with our programme on plant protection, where we have regulation which is coming into force."@en1
