Pesticides: Christophe Béchu denies any “setback” on biodiversity and health. The Minister of Ecological Transition notably defended the contested “pausing” of the Écophyto plan, which outlined the trajectory for reducing pesticides in France by 2030.
“There is no question that there will be a decline that threatens health or biodiversity,” said Bé Chu. He also reaffirmed his opposition to Mercosur, which must be “more than a break”
