European Parliament votes at first reading on pesticides package

New EU legislation on pesticides was approved with amendments by the European Parliament at first reading on Tuesday. MEPs voted to ban aerial spraying with pesticides and to prohibit the use of pesticides in buffer zones round water courses. They also approved plans to ban or at least restrict pesticides in parks and sports grounds. However, they threw out proposals to divide the EU into three zones for the purposes of approving new pesticide products.
