Pesticides (SUR): Commission still owes answers

A leak of the Commission’s extended impact assessment on the Pesticides Regulation (SUR) is causing disappointment among co-legislators. The 220-page document leaves many answers unanswered, according to Brussels. Both the Council and the lead agricultural committee in Parliament had criticized the impact assessment on the Commission’s proposal and demanded that the Commission make clear the consequences of the proposed measures for agricultural land and food production.
