The Omnibus X, Trojan horse of "genetic pesticides" in Europe

The European Commission's "Omnibus X" legislative package, proposing unprecedented relaxations of pesticide regulations, faces strong opposition from the scientific community and civil organizations. Parents of children with cancer protested at the European Parliament against the project, highlighting concerns over indefinite market authorizations for certain active substances and the potential for extended exemptions and grace periods for banned substances. The proposal also raises the possibility of resuming aerial spraying, previously banned since 2009, using drones.
