r/worldnews - European top court upholds French ban on bee-harming pesticides: The European Court of Justice ruled that France's ban of neonicotinoid pesticides, considered harmful to bees, is legal.

The legal row between the French Crop Protection Association and France goes back to 2018, when the government banned some pesticides belonging to the neonicotinoid group. The ban placed France at the forefront of a campaign against chemicals blamed for decimating crop-pollinating bees.
