French Minister for Environmental Transition Monique Barbut has decided to stay in office after meeting with President Emmanuel Macron, who did not accept her resignation.

The legislation allows for the use of a banned pesticide in certain instances and doubles the water storage allowance for farmers.

Opposée à la réintroduction de l'acétamipride et du flupyradifurone dans l'agriculture, Monique Barbut présentera sa démission à Emmanuel Macron mercredi.
