A ban on glyphosate is increasingly likely. On Thursday, October 19, the European Parliament's Environment Committee voted against the use of the drug from 2020 onwards.
The MPs want a complete ban for private individuals with immediate effect and a ban on agriculture by the end of 2020. The resolution was approved in the Environment Committee on Thursday morning, October 19; by 39 to 9, with 10 abstentions. The MPs refer to the continuing scientific uncertainty about the health risks of glyphosate.
Not binding
It has no binding force, that is in the hands of the Member States, but it does increase the pressure. The full parliament will vote on the resolution next Tuesday. Member States will vote on the European Commission's proposal to extend the authorization by 10 years on Wednesday.

Stop glyphocate! There really are other ways to control weeds. Glyphosate is 1000x more toxic than DDT and DDT is banned. If you're a real farmer and byisniss, you'll think twice before you throw poison around. Your own kids also want a healthy life.
