| The EU do not say that, and whilst one of their agencies is saying it can be approved for the long term (currently it can not be used after this 15th December). It is very contentious and for example Germany is strongly against this possible relaxation of the rules. I have no qualifications to judge this. Perhaps you do. I'm surprised that you take the side of multinational chemical companies. As I have said before this seems to me like another of those circumstances where powerful companies are lobbying against changes for safety (smoking, global warming) HSE doesn't say glyphosate is safe but that they have no reason to control it. It's not hard to find evidence of debatable interference with evidence by Monsanto and its associates. I am particularly mindful when I hear "In June 2020 Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, agreed to a $10 billion settlement as a result of a number of class-action lawsuits alleging that Roundup had caused cancer" $10billion is more than small change even for an outfit like Bayer |
