Great news from the UK.
This may put pressure on the EPA.

Just now ... The European Commission places a temporary suspension on 
dangerous insecticides.
The Member States agreed on a new piece of legislation restricting 
the use of dangerous pesticides called neonicotinoids (neonics). The 
ban will start to come into effect later this year, and will restrict 
the use of the three most common neonics, imidacloprid, clothianidin 
and thiamethoxam on crops which are 'attractive to bees' and on 
cereals planted in the summer which cause dust clouds of toxic 
chemicals to be released.
