Desuden ønsker størstedelen af landmændene selv, at EU hjælper dem med at omlægge deres praksisser, så de ikke længere skal vælge mellem sundhed og større rentabilitet.

This is a challenge to which Europe must rise for three reasons: firstly, as more scandals and more health risks are uncovered, public opinion is now set against the use of pesticides; secondly the majority of farmers themselves want the European Union to help them change their practices so that they no longer have to choose between keeping their health and boosting their profitability; and thirdly, bee-keepers all over Europe are calling for strict legislation to stop the sale of pesticides that have not been evaluated for their impact on bees.
