Commission Health service DG SANTE proposes a 5-year renewal for the herbicide Glyphosate (vote on November 9), which contradicts the vote in the European Parliament for a phase out of Glyphosate. DG SANTE should have included a phase out in the proposal, just as a majority of the members of the parliament have demanded.
You may still ask for the inclusion of a phase-out paragraph. The 'Monsanto-papers" have given sufficient insight in Monsanto's testing policy making that all of its studies are unreliable. This also invalidates the opinion of EFSA. One could therefore make a good case for phase-out based on the IARC-opinion.
