EU Proposes Pesticide Scrapping Proposals Concession to Farmers

The European Union’s executive arm shelved an anti-pesticides proposal Tuesday in yet another concession to farmers after weeks of protests blocked major capitals and economic lifelines across the 27-nation bloc.

Although the proposal had languished in EU institutions for the past two years, the move by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was the latest indication that the bloc is willing to let slip some environmental concerns to keep the farming community on its side.

Farmers have insisted that measures like the one on pesticides would only increase the bureaucratic burden and keep them behind laptops instead of on tractors and add to the price gap between their products and cheap imports produced by foreign farmers without similar burdens.

The pesticides “proposal has become a symbol of polarization,” von der Leyen told the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France."To move forward, more dialogue and a different approach is needed.”
