Call to strengthen implementation of EU Pesticide Law to protect health and the environment

28 October 2025

The Pesticide Regulation (1107/2009) is a cornerstone of EU legislation, designed to ensure, as a priority, a high level of protection for human health, animal health, biodiversity, and the environment. In light of overwhelming scientific evidence on the harmful effects of synthetic pesticides on human health, ecosystems, water quality, and food sovereignty, we stress the urgent need to uphold Regulation 1107/2009 and to focus on its effective implementation.
