Corruption in Unaccountable EU Bureaucracy Cancels Pesticide Bans
in-unaccountable-eu-bureaucracy-cancels-pesticide-bans/
Using the argument of the top
secret Trans-Atlanic Trade and Investment Partnership talks, as well as
enormous reported lobbying pressure from such chemical giants as Bayer
AG and BASF as their excuse, the EU Commission has quietly abandoned
plans for tighter safety regulations on pesticides. This is no minor
bureaucratic issue. The health and safety of hundreds of millions of
people in the EU are at risk to say nothing of animals, birds and
insects, and nature at all.
Way back in 1999, sixteen years ago, the
EU Commission began to look at possible health dangers from a class of
chemical pesticides known as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).
Until now, tragically, nothing has been done by Brussels to safeguard
the health and safety of her citizens based on the “precautionary
principle,” otherwise stated, if it might harm, there is evidence it
does, and you cannot be more precise, ban it until you are absolutely
certain, whether GMO crops and glyphosate herbicide Roundup or ECDs or
DDT.

Scientists link ECD exposure, even in
low doses, to a rise in foetal abnormalities, genital mutations, lowered
sperm counts, genital malformations, non-descended testes, misplaced
penis holes, infertility, cancer and even to IQ loss. One recent study
by the Washington University School of Medicine linked 15 EDCs found in
plastics, personal care products, cosmetics and many household items, to
early onset of menopause.
