How Member States should use the new strategic plans to seriously reduce dependency on pesticides
Voting Recommendations for the EP’s Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRI) on the CAP Strategic Plans’ Proposal ( 28 March 2019)
PAN Europe and PAN Germany position concerning the current review of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and its Daughter Directives
Against the backdrop of several shortcomings in the implementation and application of the WFD, PAN Europe and PAN Germany urge Member States as well as the European Commission to put in place a more consistent approach to fulfil the legal requirements for the protection of our aquatic ecosystems. At this stage, there is no need to revise the WFD, but there is an urgent need to better implement its provisions. The collapse of biodiversity is taking place at a worrying pace and strong measures need to be taken to protect European waters.

PAN Europe’s feedback on Commission’s roadmap: “Towards a more comprehensive EU framework on endocrine disruptors”
Background: The ‘Community Strategy for Endocrine Disruptors (EDs)” adopted in 1999 was set up to be in line with the precautionary principle, which aims at ensuring a higher level of environmental protection through preventative decision-taking in the case of risk. The strategy’s aim was to identify potential hazardous ED substances, to promote research to address the regulatory needs and to update EU legislation with tools to protect people, animals and the environment from the potential harm caused by EDs. Despite these political actions, today, in 2018, EDs are still not regulated properly.
Mixture toxicity of pesticide residues in food
Commission and EFSA propose to bury the topic of mixture toxicity of pesticide residues in food
-Industry infiltration in EFSA’s working groups caused 13 years of delay!
-Chosen assessment with (industry promoted) computer modelling unrealistic

-Commercial interests prevail over health of EU citizens
