Dear Guilhem de Sèze,

Regulation (EU) 1107/2009 on pesticides mentions that greenhouses are systems that prevent the release of pesticides into the environment (art.3(27)). As EFSA is aware, PAN Europe has initiated a legal procedure before the General Court of the EU on the reply from the European Commission to our Request for Internal review on the reapproval of abamectin.

Our society’s relationship with the nature that sustains it is fundamentally broken. Despite the growing evidence of looming ecological collapse and the alarming acceleration of the climate crisis, European governments and EU politicians are currently blocking new measures to protect nature and tearing up ones already in place.

Dear Mr. Bernhard Url,

Dear Health Commissioner Ms. Kyriakides,

Dear members of the PAFF committee,

On 22 and 23 April, you are invited to the EU Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed to discuss the European Commission's proposal to lower all the MRLs of thiacloprid (C.05). We ask you to support this proposal and to speed up its adoption. Citizens in the EU and beyond as well as the environment urgently need to be protected from this very harmful substance.

Dear Commissioner Kyriakides,

Dear Member of the European Parliament,

Dear Member of the European Parliament,

We are writing to you in view of the Plenary vote on the Soil Monitoring Law on 10 April. Although we strongly regret the lack of binding targets, mandatory plans and very weak provisions regarding soil management, we would like to ask you to support the first EU Soil Law and the compromise amendments reached in the Environment Committee. Your vote will be essential in taking a first step towards healthy soils in Europe. 

Dear Ms Ursula von der Leyen,

Dear Mr Janusz Wojciechowski,

Dear Mr Virginijus Sinkevičius,

Dear Permanent Representative,
