A thousand doctors and scientists issued an open letter to Emmanuel Macron, warning against the European Union's proposed 'omnibus' regulation concerning pesticide deregulation. They criticize the text for potentially extending approval periods for pesticides up to 25 years and marginalizing scientific data by simplifying environmental standards. Instead of deregulation, they advocate for regular, rigorous reassessment and increased resources for regulatory agencies.
