British lawmakers urge ban on pesticides linked to bee die-offs
LONDON, April 5 () -- Britain should suspend the use of a number of pesticides linked to the widespread deaths of bees vital to crop production,[url=http://www.christianelouboutinoutlet.com]Christian Louboutin Discount[/url], a parliamentary committee says.Members of the Commons Environmental Audit Committee are urging the government to declare a moratorium on the use of pesticide spray containing chemicals known as neonicotinoids, the BBC reported Friday.Britain has so far refused to join a European Union ban on the substances,[url=http://www.christianslouboutinsales.com]Christian Louboutin Black[/url], an approach committee members called "extraordinarily complacent."The European Commission has proposed neonicotinoid sprays be restricted to crops not attractive to pollinators.Two-thirds of wild species such as honey bees considered vital for pollinating around one-third of the world's crop production have suffered population declines in Britain, the parliamentary committee said.A "growing body of peer-reviewed research" points the finger at a group of pesticides containing neonicotinoids,[url=http://www.christianelouboutinoutlet.com]Christian Louboutin Clearance[/url], the MPs said."We believe the weight of scientific evidence now warrants precautionary action," Labor MP Joan Walley, the committee chairwoman, said."So we are calling for a moratorium on pesticides linked to bee decline to be introduced by January 1 next year."
