Générations Futures is suing ANSES for its authorization of the neonicotinoid insecticide Transform based on sulfoxaflor. On 11.24.2017, the judge ordered the suspension of the authorisation decision pending judgment on the merits of the case. On 02.15.2018, the Council of State rejected DOW's appeal against this suspension order (No. 416396). The same legal proceedings are made against Closer, another neonicotinoid insecticide containing Sulfoxaflor.
