Conservation - Pour l'interdiction européenne des néonicotinoïdes (51) Images supplémentaires...
The EU voted on 29th April 2013 in favour of a partial ban on neonicitinoid pesticides, which have been linked by some studies to the worrying decline in honeybee populations. 15 member states voted for a ban, 4 abstained and 8 countries (including the UK) voted against. The European Commission may be able to implement restrictions before the end of 2013. Honeybees are a vital pollinator of both wild and cultivated plants and some commercial crops depend on honeybees for one third of their pollinators.
