The Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) supports the decision by the Secretary of State to issue an emergency authorisation for the use of Cruiser SB (thiamethoxam) on sugar beet seed for 2021.
AIC has issued the following comments following the Countryfile programme on Sunday 8th November. The programme covered a topic on illegal pesticides, pesticide disposal and counterfeit pesticides.
AIC supported an appeal in the European General Court this week, which challenged the verdict on the Commission’s decision to withdraw three neonicotinoid insecticides, clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam in 2013.
