Glyphosate Approval

On November 27 the European Union’s Committee for Plants, Animals, Food and Feed Health voted to extend Glyphosate authorization for an abbreviated period of five years. The vote came with a split between France and Germany, as President Macron announced that he would ask government officials to devise a plan to ban the herbicide in France within three years. The vote of approval came less than three weeks before Glyphosate’s current license expired.

The final vote tally included 18 in favor of extended authorization, 9 against, and one abstention.
