EFSA has delayed the publication of its opinion on the impact of neonicotinoids on bees. It is not sure of the date of publication, but 23 January a representative of EFSA will make a speech at the European parliament's Environment Committee. On the same day, it will be presented the report made ​​by the Austrian Environment Agency (in attach).

Regarding the proposed guidelines for the evaluation of pesticides, the EFSA has received a number of comments so big that they have to delay the publication as well. Maybe in March 2013? To be seen.

Good weekend to everybody,

Ghislain De Roeck,
Belgium.
