EFSA clears all neonic emergency uses on sugar beet in 2020/21

摘要

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has concluded that all emergency authorisations granted by eleven EU member states for the use of neonicotinoid-based insecticides on sugar beet in 2020 and 2021 were justified. The Authority was tasked by the European Commission in December 2020 to assess whether the emergency authorisations granted by the member states were justified because there was a danger to crops “which cannot be contained by any other reasonable means”, in line with the EU agrochemical Regulation 1107/2009.
