Socialist European Union essentially bans use of chemical pesticides by 2030 and dictates farmers to transition or else

Previously, I blogged here that the EU has morphed into Soviet EU as it enlarges! Here is another example!

Big Government in the name of public health! Dictatorship in the name of government paternalism! A typical the ends justify the means approach! These are very disturbing tendencies!

Of course, the taxpayer has to pay for the necessary and enormous subsidies to farmers!

Brexit made so much sense then and even more sense as time passes! At least the British people escaped the unhinged Soviet EU! Which country will exit next if this socialism goes on!

"... Legally binding targets: binding EU-level targets to reduce by 50% the use and risk of chemical pesticides and the use of the more hazardous pesticides by 2030. ...
to ensure that the EU wide target is achieved collectively [collectivism]. ...

Strict new rules to enforce environmentally friendly pest control: a comprehensive new enforcement framework to ensure that all farmers practice Integrated Pest Management ‘IPM', in which all alternative methods of pest control are considered first, before chemical pesticides can be used as a last resort measure. ...

Exceptional EU support: Farmers will be supported by the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in this transition: for 5 years, Member States can use the CAP to cover the costs of the new requirements for farmers. ..."

"The Farm to Fork Strategy is at the heart of the European Green Deal aiming to make food systems fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly."
