Dear Ministers, on behalf of 1.1 million Europeans that have signed our ECI's demand for legally binding
pesticide reduction targets, we urge you to defend the SUR in the Energy Council on Monday! @lgewessler

"The heavy use of pesticides in agriculture is strongly linked to declines in #biodiversity and detrimental impacts on global public #health", more than 700 scientists say. @CostasKadis @MinisterKenE @Teresaribera @LeaWermelin @EamonRyan @MariaOhisalo

Despite these facts, Climate-, Envi-and Energy Ministers, of all people, might softly kill the key part of the #Farm2Fork and Biodiversity Strategy aimed to reduce harm from #pesticides on Monday in the @EUCouncil

We know that some agri-ministers have not coordinated their destructive request for an additional impact assessment with your ministry. So there is no moral obligation to accept their proposal in your Counci!
@Miriamdalli @DuarteCordeiro @UrosBrezan @Rpourmokhtari @Gkremlis

Send a strong signal for the defense of the EU pesticide reduction plans. Request the A-item on additional SUR impact assessment to be withdrawn from the agenda according to Council rules (p.33ff):

It would be more than cynical if the EU Climate, Envi and Energy ministers, while discussing global pesticide reduction at the #COP15 in Montreal, make themselves the nail in the coffin of the pesticide reduction targets of the European Green Deal.
