EU pesticide overhaul sparks clash between health advocates and industry

The European Commission's Food and Feed Safety Omnibus seeks to streamline pesticide approval and renewal processes within the EU, aiming to expedite the authorisation of innovative biological products. While the Commission maintains that safety standards remain intact, health and consumer groups argue the proposals could weaken public health protections by relying on industry-led research and delaying the phase-out of harmful substances. Crop protection companies support the changes, citing the need for updated regulations to foster innovation and reduce administrative delays, while critics warn of potential trade barriers and health risks. The legislative proposal now awaits debate in the European Parliament and Council, where its balance between innovation, competitiveness, and health protection will be scrutinised.
