For decades, this man-made chemical was ignored, with devastating consequences: Europe-wide studies, to which Meco contributed samples from Luxembourg, revealed an almost ubiquitous contamination of all water bodies

A recent study based on data from seven European countries (including Luxembourg) has now led to wild honey bees in the EU being classified as endangered on the IUCN RED LIST

The plan contains many relevant measures, but often remains too vague and unclear in terms of implementation. It lacks binding targets, timetables, clear responsibilities and sufficient funding.
