(8)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tlid-translation translation\" lang=\"en\">Even the Minister of the Environment, Elisabeth Borne recognizes this huge failure:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"tlid-translation translation\" lang=\"en\">&#8220;We have to face the facts: the policy implemented for over ten years now is not producing the hoped-for results in the agricultural sector. This should lead us to thoroughly re-examine this policy.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tlid-translation translation\" lang=\"en\">And it is not the new decree on &#8220;buffer zones&#8221; that will change the situation. Depending on the type of crop, it provides only 3, 5 and 10 meters between homes and fields sprayed with pesticides!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tlid-translation translation\" lang=\"en\">A ridiculous distance, which absolutely does not protect populations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tlid-translation translation\" lang=\"en\">Several elected officials have asked for the establishment of 150-meter \u201cbuffer zones\u201d (9).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tlid-translation translation\" lang=\"en\">Because (apart from the Minister of Agriculture), everyone knows that these
