VOICED : Nuevo fracaso en la UE para renovar la licencia del glifosato

The European Commission failed to secure a majority to renew the glyphosate license for five years. While 14 countries supported the renewal, nine opposed, and five abstained. Some nations advocate for a gradual phase-out, conflicting with the chemical and agricultural industries. Environmental NGOs gathered 1.3 million signatures for a ban. The decision now lies with the European Commission, which must choose between renewal or a progressive ban. In 2016, the Commission extended the license to 2017 after failing to convince all member states. Reports from EFSA and ECHA dismissed cancer risks, prompting renewal efforts.
