These fall under three sections and can be summarised as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prioritise public health, the environment and sustainable agriculture &#8211; pesticides must be used only as a last resort when all other non-chemical alternatives have been applied and failed.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ensure that decision makers rely on data that is complete, public, up to date and free from industrial bias \u2013 safety testing must not be carried out by the pesticide industry itself and data requirements for pesticides should be updated according to the most recent scientific findings to address human developmental diseases and impact on ecosystems.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Enable decision makers, civil society and the scientific community to scrutinise the integrity and effectiveness of European pesticide policy &#8211; results and data of all pesticide safety tests shall be published on the internet in a
