Open Align UK standards on pesticides with equivalent EU standards

Created by Ryan Crowther
Closes on

The Government has failed to ban some pesticides that the EU has already prohibited as being harmful. These include Dimethomorph, for which there is evidence that it can harm human reproduction, and Benthiavalicarb, for which there is evidence linking it to cancer.

This petition calls on the UK Government to align UK standards on pesticides with the EU and to ban pesticides already prohibited by the EU.
