Should the EU stop exports of pesticides it has banned?

Paraquat herbicides are banned in around 70 countries, including the UK and EU. But they remain legal in Australia, the US and many low- and middle-income countries – many of which rely on imports of the chemicals from countries in which their use has been banned for decades. EU leaders had committed to introduce new legislation around banned pesticide exports by 2023, but no action has yet been taken.
