A new web series launched by Phyto-Victimes, a French group supporting victims seeking legal justice and compensation following exposure to health-harming pesticides, brings into focus the long quest for recognition many farmers are forced to undergo in France and elsewhere.
HEAL is one of the signatories (together with WWF, BirdLife Europe, EEB, CEE Bankwatch, CAN Europe, Transport & Environment and NatureFriends International) of a joint letter to Commission President von der Leyen, European Parliament President Sassoli and European Council President Michel.
The letter recognises the European Union’s efforts on COVID-19 crisis and highlights that an EU response must address the immediate health, social and economic urgency to protect the most vulnerable. The response must also ensure we continue down Europe’s chosen path towards a healthy and sustainable economy, leaving no-one behind and in line with the European Green Deal.
