What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The draft Commission regulation would raise maximum residue levels for the pesticide acetamiprid in honey to 1 mg/kg, following a previous increase in July 2025.

Parliament rejected the objection to this measure, so the Commission's regulation goes ahead as planned.

The resolution argued the increase could harm pollinators and human health, citing scientific studies and regulatory classifications.

The text in short Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament opposes the draft Commission regulation that would raise maximum residue levels for acetamiprid in honey to 1 mg/kg, considering it exceeds implementing powers and conflicts with EU regulations.
