France Pesticide Study 

05 Feb 10
France could reduce its use of pesticides by 30% through better crop management, claims a study from the national agricultural research institute (INRA). Potato and rapeseed oil crops would be most affected because of their high dependence on pesticides. Cereals and potatoes accounted for 67.4% of total pesticide use in 2006, compared with 14.4% and 5.2% for wine crops and fruits respectively.

I've been using the Eamonn Bates Issue Tracker for more than three years: it offers me daily updated, detailed and high quality information on the Environmental, Health & Safety issues I am following, saving me valuable time at a very fair cost/benefit ratio.
Eddy RoelantsVice-President Technology and Environmental PolicySIEMENS AG
The Issue Tracker saves me huge amounts of time. It's like having another member of staff. The 'past-present-future' approach is very useful too.
James JohnstonPolicy AdviserScottish Government
Given the wide scope of issues to be covered under food policy, it is practically impossible to be always up-to-date on all issues. Issue Tracker is therefore a very useful tool! Not only does it send an alert when there is progress made on the dossiers, but it can be easily accessed whenever necessary.
Noëlle VonthronAdviser on Food Policy and CustomersEuroCommerce
The EU Issue Tracker is second-to-none in terms of up-to-date regulatory monitoring. The user-friendly tool delivered by Eamonn Bates Europe’s high quality team saves time and energy but delivers what you need, when you need it.
David ColemanHead of EU AffairsMcDonald's Europe
EU Issue Tracket is an accessible and politically intelligent tool which takes a lot of the pain out of EU monitoring. The ability to access reliable and insightful information in a simple and easy to use format is a huge time saver.
