The EU bans three neonicotinoids considered dangerous for bees
The United States, including Spain, has decided by majority vote the definitive restriction of three neonicotinoid insecticides that were in suspension since 2013. These are clotiadinide, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam. The decision is based on the negative report issued by the EFSA (European Food Safety Agency) which concludes that these products pose a risk to bees and other pollinators. However, it does not have accounts in the section of ANSES (French Agency for Food, Environment and Health and Safety at Work) and JRC (Joint Research Center) on the availability and feasibility of alternatives that protect crops.
