NGOs and Trade Unions demand the end of EU's production, export, and import of banned pesticides.
The EU has banned the use of a number of pesticides found to do serious damage to human health and the environment. However, companies remain free to manufacture these hazardous pesticides in the EU for export to other countries with weaker regulations, putting human health and the environment at risk. The
EU also allows the import of food and agricultural goods grown with pesticides banned on its own fields, exposing European consumers to cocktails of dangerous residues and creating unfair competition for European farmers.

Over the past years EU institutions have all recognized that there is a double standard here which is problematic and should end.
