The European Parliament is to resume discussions on proposals for a directive on sustainable use of pesticides and regulation for the placing of plant protection products on the market.
Water UK supports the inclusion in the directive of additional measures aimed at preventing contamination of the aquatic environment and water resources intended for drinking water. Within the regulation of plant protection products mechanisms must be found to prevent use of any active substance that also compromises protection of water resources.
