EU moves to full ban pesticides that harm bees

The European Union has made a key breakthrough to completely ban pesticides that harm bees and their crop pollination.


The 28 member states got a large majority backing the ban on the three prevalent neonicotinoid pesticides which will take effect at the end of the year.

The decision builds on a limited ban which has been in effect since 2013.
