No agreement in Europe on glyphosate reauthorization. Huglo Lepage sums it up well: The 27 EU member states have failed to reach agreement on the Commission's proposal to extend the authorization of glyphosate by ten years. This failure to reach agreement means that the choice of whether to re-authorize glyphosate in the European Union will now be left to the Commission, which had already expressed its wish to see its authorization renewed for a further ten years.

However, oral exposure, as we show in our case, can be highly relevant for systemic pesticides,

CRIIGEN: An independent reference

01 - News, NEWS/COM / NEWS

CRIIGEN was set up nearly 25 years ago with the aim of making available to everyone a committee of independent experts, i.e. not funded in any way by the agrochemical industry, to study the real impact of genetically modified organisms and pesticides. It's a challenge in a world where everything is binary, but Criigen's work has enabled us to make great progress in terms of transparency in studies, and to have major points of law judged, as revealed by our recent victory against Anses and Monsanto/Bayer, which highlighted the violation of the
