Pesticides banned in agricultural law/ France's Supreme Court overturns

France's highest court today blocked a key part of a controversial agricultural law that would have reinstated a banned pesticide.

According to the French Constitutional Court, the measure failed to protect the environment and future generations. The rest of the law, known as the "Duplomb law", after the senator who proposed it, was allowed to stand.

The bill aimed to ease regulations for farmers and speed up projects such as water conservation. It was supported by the government and major farming unions and was passed in early July.

However, the law faced harsh criticism from scientists, health experts and green groups.

At the heart of the controversy was acetamiprid, a pesticide banned in France since 2018 for its role in harming bees and other pollinators. Some farmers, particularly beet growers, had called for its return./CNA
