AMENDEMENTS DÉPOSÉS AUPRÈS DU PARLEMENT EUROPÉEN SUR L’AVENIR DU SECTEUR APICOLE
POLLINIS est parvenue à faire intégrer au sein du projet de rapport « Perspectives et défis pour le secteur apicole de l'Union européenne » 13 amendements #StopNéonics. Cette action de contre-lobbying permet de rappeler la volonté des 1,2 million de citoyens qui ont signé la pétition de POLLINIS pour une interdiction totale des tueurs d'abeilles.

- Amendment 191 : Whereas the long-term health and sustainability of the apiculture sector in Europe rests on ensuring the long-term health and sustainability of local honey bee ecotypes, given their diversity and adaptation to local environments;
- Amendment 194 : Whereas neonicotinoid-based pesticides are particularly responsible for the worrying decline in bee populations throughout Europe, as demonstrated in numerous international studies;
