"Today, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on honeybees which I, too, supported. The current honeybee losses, for which even the reasons are not entirely clear yet, are endangering the entire agricultural sector. The EP believes that more funds should be allocated to investigating the phenomenon, because without knowing the reasons, we have no way of stopping the process. A mere 10 million euro are currently allocated to the problem, which needs to be multiplied as we do not even know whether this is a transmittable disease or the result of environmental damage. However, this is not the only problem confronting honey supply. Low-quality, sometimes counterfeit, honey is flooding the market. Precise designations of origin and solid quality management are needed to ensure that beekeeping remains a profitable sector and to allow this healthy foodstuff to be widely available to European citizens. To this end, we must also find a solution for providing targeted support to the approximately 700 000 beekeepers of Europe."@en1
