flag French court invalidates law allowing controversial pesticide, a win for environmentalists.

flag France's top court has invalidated a clause in the country's farming law that sought to reintroduce acetamiprid, a pesticide banned since 2018 due to its harmful effects on bees and pollinators. flag The court ruled the measure inadequate in protecting the environment and future generations, despite support from farmers. flag The decision, following a petition with over 2 million signatures, is a setback for the government and a win for environmentalists. flag Acetamiprid remains approved by the EU until 2033.
