   Ajouté: 28a. Emphasises the need to ensure that Parliament’s crèche complies with the highest food safety standards; underlines that scientific evidence over the last ten years shows that infants and children are disproportionately exposed to the harmful effects of pesticides on their health and development, due to their higher intake relative to body weight and their developing physiology, including risks of cognitive impairments and developmental delays1; calls for consideration of the need for public procurement rules to include a requirement for the provision of 100% organic food, prioritising short supply chains and local suppliers, in order to reduce pesticide exposure and better protect children’s health and development. 1.
