Glyphosate and the EU

If it makes you feel happier. In the Netherlands only professionals, excluding local authorities are allowed to use it. Which seems to be the model towards which the EU is moving, but the proposals will mean that the average European gardener, allotment holder or smallholder won't be able to use glyphosate, since they won't be able to pay the "professionals" who will presumably be licensed by the state. I don't believe this issue has anything at all to do with the EU. Has the UK government given the OK to glyphosate? As far as I can see, most western governments, starting with the US, seem to believe glyphosate usage should be limited, if not banned. It's really a matter of the scientific advice they get, and is not a political issue. I doubt if many governments would like to legalize a weed-killer that they were told was harmful to humans. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin |
