European Parliament resolution of 13 April 2016 on the draft Commission
implementing regulation renewing the approval of the active substance
glyphosate in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the
European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant
protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (D044281/01 ? 2016/2624(RSP))

See recommendation 4:
"4. Calls on the Commission in particular not to approve any
non-professional uses of glyphosate;"

Better start stocking up now (unless we "Brexit"...)!
(I'll vote for that!)

Any idea how long it'll be before the ban becomes a reality?

I'm aware that some supplies of glyphosate work out fiendishly
expensive, such as the pre-diluted trigger spay stuff commonly seen in
garden centres etc. Suggestions welcomed for cost-efficient sources of
concentrated glyphosate please.

agricultural suppliers; can be found on industrial estates supplying
rural areas.

Janet.
