"Sweden has been a driving force for restrictions on neonicotinoids in the EU, and the Swedish chemicals inspectorate has previously said no in similar cases."

"the Swedish chemicals inspectorate head of department, Agneta Westerberg says that it is about a nöddispens and that it is necessary for the growers to get the output to work at all. But the decision is questioned within the authority. Some believe that the decision is ill-founded and that it is possible to use other, allowed funds."

"– They are approved for other types of uses also. When we talk about growing beet, there are right now not some other means that is effective enough, " says Agneta Westerberg."
