Greenpeace says 3,900 tonnes of neonicotinoids were due to leave EU and UK in three months after ban
Thousands of tonnes of pesticides that seriously harm bees are being exported from the EU despite a ban on their outdoor use within the bloc.
Data obtained by Unearthed, the investigative arm of Greenpeace, shows that 3,900 tonnes of banned neonicotinoid pesticides were destined to leave the EU and UK for low- and middle-income nations with weaker environmental regulations in the three months after the ban came into force.
