So far only the Dutch have wanted to have a (partial) ban on Glyphosate.

Not true; lifting the ban (just for 18 months) failed to get
a qualified majority of EU states:

"The EU executive had offered a 12- to 18-month extension to allow time for
further scientific study by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), in hopes
of allaying health concerns. Its earlier proposal to renew the glyphosate
license for up to 15 years had failed to win support in two meetings this
year.

The compromise proposal failed to win the qualified majority needed for
adoption, an EU official said, adding the European Commission will discuss
the issue at a meeting on Tuesday."
