    1. The world uses that pesticides.
      EU farmers are in disadvantage by not use them.

      A lot of them are actually use in Europe, using emergencies exceptions.

      For me you can ban even the export, so that the jobs move from Germany to Brasil or Turkey.

      I mean, with the current energy and transport cost manufacturing of those pesticides will likely move out of Germany.

      I wonder why Europe economy is lagging behind the USA..

      8k tons is not that much actually.
      For comparison, the EU alone uses about half a million tons per year

      Does anyone think if we stop producing them they will disappear? There will simply be another company producing them because these chemicals are not banned outside the EU. Most likely the new companies will be outside the EU with lower worker rights and lower environmental standards.

      The only thing which will work that we totally ban in the EU products which came in contact with chemicals banned in the EU. But I think soon we will see lowered standards or omitted chemical analysis on import to please Trump and other populists.

      for comparison, 8.000 tons exported equals to 2.2% of what the EU uses each year, roughly 350.000 tons of pesticides.

      So they banned those chemicals, exported them in SAM and now they have Mercosur with SAM?!? Great job EU/Germany!
