Minister of Agriculture Marc Fesneau: No question of reauthorizing pesticides banned in France. beet growers want to be able to spray acetamiprid, an insecticide from the neonicotinoid family.

For beet growers, this is an example of “overtransposition” because Paris banned it before its neighbors. For the CGB, the sector found itself helpless after the ban on the use of seeds coated with this substance in Europe at the end of 2022.
