France suspends the entry of fruits and vegetables treated with an insecticide banned in Europe. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal committed on February 1 to preventing this type of imports.
“We will fight product by product for respect for a simple principle: if it is prohibited for our farmers, it must not enter our country,” says Attal. The text, “ taken for a period of one year, will cease to apply ” as soon as the European Commission accedes to the French request to lower the maximum residue limits.
