Responding to today's announcement from Government rejecting emergency authorisation for the use of toxic neonicotinoid pesticides, Richard Benwell, CEO of Wildlife and Countryside Link, said:
"It's good to see the yearly cycle of emergency authorisation for bee-killing pesticides broken at last, closing the loopholes left in the ban four years ago. To meet its commitment to wildlife recovery, Government must build on this important step by tightening regulation on other toxic chemicals and offering generous support to wildlife-friendly farmers who want to reduce their reliance on chemicals".
