Recital 9
(9) In the final report of the Conference on the Future of Europe, published on 9 May 2022, when it comes to the proposals on agriculture, food production, biodiversity and ecosystems, pollution, citizens ask the Union in particular to significantly reduce the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, in line with the existing targets, while still ensuring food security, and support for research to develop more sustainable and natural- based alternatives. Citizens ask for more research and innovations, including in technological solutions for sustainable production, plant resistance, and precision farming, and more communication, advisory systems, and training for and from farmers as well as asking the Union to protect insects, in particular indigenous and pollinating insects. Citizens are also calling for water sources to be protected and for something to be done to combat pollution of rivers and oceans55. _________________ 55 Conference on the Future of Europe – Report on the Final Outcome, May 2022, Proposals 1 and 2, pp. 43-44.

Recital 26 b (new)
(26b) Plant protection products, frequently detected in concentrations exceeding legal or environmental standards, are a source of diffuse pollution, contaminating water and harming aquatic organisms and biodiversity. Since water quality is essential for human well-being and our marine and coastal ecosystems, professionals in developing countries require support in cutting the use of plant protection products. The European institutions have a responsibility to encourage and support partner countries at international level in moving towards the sustainable use of pesticides, with particular emphasis on ensuring the availability of alternatives as soon as possible.
