Some pesticides are they are carcinogenic, hormone-disrupting or impair fertility. Others are harmful to aquatic organisms, bees and pollinators or hardly break down in nature.  
That is why the European Union decided to ban the use of these toxic pesticides. Yet they are still produced in Europe, and Belgium, for export, including to African countries.  
Africans and Europeans are together calling for a ban on these toxic exports. Because what is toxic in Europe is also toxic elsewhere. We do not want a double standard on human health and the environment!  

🙅🏾‍♂️ The export of pesticides, which can no longer be used in Europe because they are too harmful, should be banned immediately.   
🪱 Attention to healthy soil, encouraging biodiversity and applying natural pest control should be at the heart of agricultural policy.    
🧑🏽‍🌾  Farmers should be supported in switching to sustainable agricultural practices and natural pest control.   
🏭Furthermore, European companies should be reminded of their responsibility to ensure the safety of their products, including abroad.
