Question 13798 — dangerous products

Summary

Mr. François-Michel Lambert alerts the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, about the export by France of a pesticide banned on national territory to developing countries. The European Chemicals Agency indicates that the ministries responsible for the environment of the Member States of the European Union are responsible and competent in matters of authorization of export of pesticides and other soil and crop treatment chemicals. However, the journal Sciences et Avenir as well as the Swiss NGO Public Eye revealed that France exported the "most toxic pesticides in the world for health and the environment" to several developing states including Argentina, Cameroon, China, India, Peru and Thailand. Since 2004, there have been 142 shipments of this type of product which left France, thus violating the Basel and Bamako Conventions relating to the ban on exporting what are considered substances dangerous to human health or the environment. He therefore asks him what concrete action he intends to take to ban these exports when we know that dangerous pesticides are the cause of around 200,000 deaths from poisoning in developing countries. every year.
