Monsanto Tribunal

It is time to judge the acts of Monsanto

[PAN Europe @EuropePAN]

🔬🏫 @Velt_vzw published a new report today: 63 different #pesticides were found in indoor dust of 10 classrooms spread across Flanders. This is the first-ever pesticide research inside European schools.

🚜 When the EU discussed plans to reduce #pesticide use across Europe, the Christian Democrat EPP group asked for a second impact assessment to investigate what the consequences would be.

5 UN human rights experts have raised “substantive concerns” about the pesticide omnibus. They warn that the proposed changes on pesticide and biocide rules would weaken protections for human health & the environment, & undermine fundamental human rights.

Op-ed by Martin Dermine, Executive Director of PAN Europe 📝
The Feed & Food Omnibus will not address the real problems faced by farmers and citizens; it will only loosen the pesticide law. The elephant in the room is the broken agricultural system.

“Bayer, in tandem with big farm lobby Copa-Cogeca, lobbied the @EU_Commission in favour of unlimited approvals for #pesticides. The Commission listened, and delivered. Omnibus X abandons periodic safety reviews that currently
happen every 10 or 15 years.” https://t.co/Z67uTZLbyO

📚 A new investigation report by @corporateeurope exposes how the #pesticide industry and its allies are trying to weaken pesticide regulations and lower the level of protection for people and the environment.

I just published a new peer-reviewed study on atrazine

We’ve got a big atrazine problem in the U.S.

The agency tasked with solving that problem has put forward a plan that is utterly worthless

It will fail to remediate 99% of contaminated waterways

📢 10k farmers and citizens demanded stronger #pesticide rules and an end to the export of banned pesticides + accountability for water & soil pollution at the #Syngenta factory in Normandy 🇫🇷. A 2nd protest took place in🇨🇭.

🧪 The EU has been at a standstill for over a year in its meetings to regulate #pesticides. Only the endocrine disruptor buprofezin was finally banned in the latest SCOPAFF meeting at the end of September.

Trump’s USDA Gambles America’s Forests on a Defective #GMO Chestnut Tree. The decision is legally indefensible, ecologically irresponsible, and almost certain to be challenged in federal court—where, on the merits, it should be overturned. https://t.co/SYZUQi6f1Z

EU plays Russian Roulette with health an environment

[GMWatch @GMWatch]

The European Commission says it is acting as a matter of urgency to deregulate GMO micro-organisms. They want to deregulate #GMO bacteria, yeasts, and viruses—to get them on the market faster—by cutting risk assessments and the info provided to the public. https://t.co/NIqVwGhMJa

Alarming! Emerging new threat, #TFA on the rise and at some point toxic to reproduction, can harm foetuses and young children. Main directly avoidable source: #PFAS #pesticides. Urgent to ban them, everywhere!

[PAN Europe @EuropePAN]

🔬🩸 A new study has detected the ultra-short #PFAS trifluoroacetic acid #TFA in all 110 European participants’ blood samples tested.

We call for an immediate ban on PFAS #pesticides that contribute to TFA pollution.

Europe has lost track and vision. Pleasing the chemical industry won’t solve the fundamental problems agriculture is facing. Von der Leyen’s crew tries to speed up on a dead end chemical road towards collapse.

Today, EU Member States endorsed the Irish Presidency’s compromise on the Food and Feed Safety Omnibus. They support the Commission’s plan to roll back safeguards that protect human health and the environment from #pesticides.

Congratulations India, finally. And the US is a third world country. Poor farmers, poor consumers, poor nature, water, soil …..

[Nathan Donley @Nathan_Donley]

HOLY COW! India just officially banned paraquat!

This means that of the 5 largest agricultural economies in the world (US, China, Brazil, EU and India), the US is the ONLY ONE to still allow its use

And we still use 12 million pounds a year 🤯
