To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many EU countries have been granted derogations for the use of thiamethoxam since its ban in 2018.
Victoria Prentis
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
EU legislation allows Member States to grant emergency authorisation for the use of a pesticide in special circumstances. Since the EU prohibited the outdoor use of thiamethoxam in December 2018, 15 EU countries have granted emergency authorisations for products containing thiamethoxam.
