French court blocks return of banned pesticide • FRANCE 24 English

The ruling is in. Acetamma purried a controversial insecticide will not be reauthorized in France because of environmental concerns. Opponents to the duplon law which would permit it use again are satisfied with Thursday’s ruling. There is a sense of victory. Mobilization has paid off. It is only a partial victory because the text remains with its focus which was to accelerate towards greater productivity. Did public pressure influence the decision? A petition against a setma paid gathered more than two million signatures on the parliament’s website which is a record. Agnes Pirat 51 who signed the petition is delighted. The constitutional council has partially upheld the dupon law. That’s great. There’s a little hope. It’s important that we don’t take a step backwards because France has made good decisions regarding the use of insecticide compared to Europe. So that’s positive. We need to keep it up even if it’s difficult for farmers. The constitutional council upheld the principle of prevention. The dangers posed by a setup led to its long-term use being banned. But certain hazelnut and beet producers asked to use it to combat yellowing caused by insects and to align with European competition where the molecule is authorized. For this beet farmer, the verdict is disappointing. In my opinion, a direct consequence will be a drastic reduction in acrate. The government will have to prepare measures in the future because production in France will be extremely complicated. Extremely complicated. Several agricultural organizations are calling for action. The battle over the diplom might not be over. was his children.

A top French court struck down an effort to reintroduce an environmentally toxic pesticide on Thursday after over 2 million people signed a petition against the initiative, although some worry the decision will lead to insufficient crop yield.
