The move comes after the European Commission's proposal this week to renew the authorisation of the powerful herbicide for ten years.
“In the context of threats to biodiversity, the German government has called for a European exit from glyphosate and warned against heterogeneous levels of protection in the EU,” the Ministry of Agriculture said.
Depends if you deal in ploughs.Would a ban in Europe push up prices of commodities?
The coalition contract signed at the end of 2021 by the Social Democrats (SPD) of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Greens, who hold the agriculture portfolio, and the liberals (FDP) already stipulates that glyphosate "will be withdrawn from the market by at the end of 2023" in Germany.

Is that really a serious question Pilatus?Serious question, IF glyphosate were to be banned in the EU, do you think other countries worldwide would follow?
It would be great to hear from US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand TFF members on this .
I ask as what’s the point in the EU (of course the uk would follow)banning glyphosate unless the rest of the world follows.
