Lūgumraksts adresēts: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner expresses concern over the invasiveness and dangers deriving from the enforced new remedies to treat Xylella fastidiosa, a disease affecting olive trees in the Puglia region. The petitioner condemns the situation that would arise in Italy following a decree requiring farmers to use insecticides that are not permitted in organic farming. These insecticides are extremely harmful to bees and could lead to olive oil losing its organic certification. The petitioner therefore proposes alternative techniques to safeguard organic farming.
