Hello all,

Stage victory for french beekeepers : after two years of investigations, J GUARY, examining magistrate in a small town of southern France -Saint Gaudens-, has decided last week to prosecute Bayer, owner of Imidaclopride and former owner of Fipronil, and BASF, owner of Fipronil, and to charge their Directors with offering for sale a poisonous stuff, harmful to human and animal health,  offering for sale a chemical without legal authorization, and acting in collusion to destroy apiarian livestock .
BASF company is put on probation, and last but not least, the sale of Regent TS, one of the commercial names of Fipronil insecticide, is prohibited on the french market .
The trial could happen in 2005 .
8 years of fight, men, and something looking like the first effective results...

Bernard
