Please take the time to have a look at this site and sign the petition so that the EU passes new rules about chemicals which harm them.

Great.  There's another petition about this circulating in the USA where they've picked up on the European activity to ban nicotinoids.  Apparently their government isn't planning to review the pesticides situation till 2018.  Powerful lobbyists these big agrichem companies.
