The proposal would push farmers and chemical companies to replace the most toxic products with alternatives, remove provisional licenses for pesticides not yet registered with the EU, restrict the use of crop-dusters, and ban pesticides near sensitive areas.\u201cOne of the main aims of the proposal is to maintain a high level of protection for humans, animals and the environment. This is essential for our citizens,\u201d said EU Health Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou, who advocated for this ban in May 2008. \u201cWe will not authorize what is known to be harmful for public health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For background, see Beyond Pesticides&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=384\">Daily News Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/news\/expert\/infopress_page\/066-45937-012-01-03-911-20090112IPR45936-12-01-2009-2009-false\/default_en.htm\">EU Parliament Jan. 13<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/news\/public\/story_page\/066-45730-012-01-03-911-20090108STO45590-2009-12-01-2009\/default_en.htm\">EU Jan. 12<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/food\/plant\/protection\/resources\/publications_en.htm\">Guidance documents<\/a><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Beyond Pesticides, January 15, 2009) On January 13, 2009, the European Parliament adopted a pesticide regulation, implementing its 2006 proposal, to allow the phase out of hazardous pesticides across the European Union.
