In the current legislative period, the EU Regulation on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides (SUR) failed. However, after the European elections, there should be a new attempt. Manfred Weber, EPP Chief and CSU top candidate for the European elections, expressed this view on Thursday at the Europe.Table Live Briefing. „We need a new proposal for pesticide reduction in the next legislative period.“ His party is committed to international agreements on biodiversity, but a new approach is needed: „The mistake with this regulation was that it was purely a percentage-based reduction approach.“
