European regulators proposed a two-year ban on some uses of neonicotinoid insecticides produced by Bayer AG and Syngenta AG because of risks to honey-bee health.
The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, proposed a suspension on the use of three neonicotinoids on sunflowers, rapeseed, corn and cotton, spokesman Frederic Vincent said at a press conference in Brussels today.
