Conference: Mayors and EU policies together for healthy living spaces - 28 September 2022
Hosted by PAN Europe, The Greens/EFA, S&D, European Left and Renew Europe. What are the best methods and solutions for cities on their path to sustainability, restoring biodiversity and protecting the health of citizens? Is the Commission's proposed regulation on pesticide use ambitious enough to address these priorities? What are the solutions to propose to Slovenia, which claims to be unable to replace glyphosate with non-harmful alternatives?
This and more will be discussed on September 28, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Mayors and EU policies together for healthy living spaces event at the European Parliament in Brussels. The debate will bring together European mayors of Pesticide free towns, MEPs and representatives of the European Commission, in order to have a fruitful exchange of best practices and a future perspective on EU policies on the subject.

Press Conference: Environmental NGOs and Organic Movement call on Commission to develop a new indicator to measure progress toward the Farm to Fork pesticide reduction target - 9 June 2022
Hosted by PAN Europe, GLOBAL 2000, IFOAM Organics Europe and “Save Bees and Farmers!” European Citizens’ Initiative. The organisers of the European Citizens’ Initiative Save Bees and Farmers (signed by 1.2 million Europeans demanding a 80% reduction of synthetic pesticides by 2030 and a full phase out by 2035) and the European organic movement are looking forward to the European Commission adopting a proposal for a Regulation for a Sustainable Use of pesticides (SUR) on 22 June. This urgently needed proposal must start the much-needed transition to a health-, climate-, and biodiversity-friendly food system by making the Farm to Fork Strategy’s target for a 50% Union-wide reduction of – both the use and risk of – chemical pesticides by 2030 legally binding.

PAN Europe at the Monsanto Tribunal: The Monsanto Tribunal is an international civil society initiative which was organised to hold Monsanto accountable for human rights violations, crimes against humanity, and ecocide. Eminent judges, at The Hague, heard testimonies from victims, in order to deliver an advisory opinion following procedures of the International Court of Justice. PAN Europe was a co-moderator in the three pesticide workshops of the People's Assembly, which took place in parallel to provide the opportunity for social movements to rally and plan for the future we want. The Tribunal and People's Assembly took place between 14 and 16 October 2016 in The Hague, Netherlands. The background information, the appeal and follow-ups can be found on the following website, http://www.monsanto-tribunal.org/.
