MEPs put nail in the coffin for sustainable EU pesticides regulation

Cheered on by the big agri industry lobbies, right-wing MEPs together with the far-right, managed to weaken the text in crucial areas. In the end, the text was not good enough for anyone to support it. Members of the European Parliament failed to protect human health and the health of our planet.
