A new twist in the case of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto-Bayer’s popular Roundup, which has been erected as a symbol of the evils of agrochemicals. On Thursday, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued an opinion on the health and environmental risks associated with the world’s most widely used pesticide. These long-awaited conclusions should allow the European Commission to decide on a possible extension of the authorization of this controversial product.
Recall that its authorization, which was originally supposed to expire at the end of 2022, was extended by the European Commission at the last minute for a year to give Efsa time to study all the available data. So far, products containing glyphosate have already been banned in France by the Labé law for the maintenance of public spaces since 2017 and for individuals since 2019. But whatever the decision of the European Commission is, we should not wait a priori. .
