Summary
France's National Assembly voted to ban imports of food and agricultural products made with pesticides or veterinary medicines that are prohibited in France. The amendment, introduced by La France insoumise lawmakers during debate on an emergency agriculture bill, was approved after a heated exchange with Agriculture Minister Annie Genevard, who argued the measure conflicts with European law and would not survive legal scrutiny. The vote sharpens a political fight over farm competition, consumer standards, and the limits of EU law.
