There is a strong debate here in the UK over the vote in June as to
whether we remain in the EU, or leave. One of the many arguments
revolves around all the regulations imposed by Brussels on the use of
agricultural chemicals. It's often said that only the UK takes notice
of those regulations and everyone else ignores them. If the situation
is as you say, then that would seem to be the case.

Sigh.
The issue of glyphosate has absolutely nothing to do with the EU,
since there is no difference between the UK and EU on the subject.
Also, it is nonsense to say that only the UK takes notice
of this regulation.
In fact the Dutch are the leaders in pressing for glyphosate
to be banned.

another sigh

I deliberately avoided reference to glyphosate in my reply to Michael,
and kept my comment general. There is concern in the UK about the
agricultural regulations that come out of Brussels, and how rigorously
they are applied in mainland Europe. Whether true or whether just a
xenophobic reaction, is another matter.

At the end of this Daily Telegraph article is a fairly objective list of pros
and cons of Remain/Brexit.

It's just a list of statement and counter statement and the order is
significant.
