[QUOTE="le bon paysan, post: 4523576, member: 104"] [SIZE=5][B]Member States of the European Union have voted in favor of a new five-year authorization of the herbicide. France will go it alone, and remains focused on a period of three years.[/B] [B][/B][/SIZE] It needed a qualified majority, the European Commission got it. Eighteen countries, representing more than 65% of the population of the European Union, voted on 27 November 2017 in favor of its proposal. The glyphosate is therefore re-authorized for a period of five years. [SIZE=3][B]Germany changes its mind[/B][/SIZE] Nine opposed and one country abstained, achieving the required qualified majority, unlike a first vote in early November. Germany, which had abstained in early November, has voted in favor of the proposal. Berlin has requested amendments to the text related to restrictions on private use of glyphosate and respect for biodiversity, according to a source familiar with the issue. This change in position helped to tip the balance in favor of a new authorization. [SIZE=3][B]Satisfaction to the Commission[/B][/SIZE] "Today's vote shows that when we want, we can share and accept our collective responsibility in decision-making," said EU Health Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis, quoted in a statement. The Commission will now adopt a decision before the current authorization expires on December 15. If Monday's vote on appeal had also stalled, the European executive should have decided. [SIZE=3][B]"At the latest in three years" in France[/B][/SIZE] If Stéphane Travert says he is "happy" that an agreement has been found, Brune Poirson, Secretary of State to Nicolas Hulot, reaffirms that "France remains determined to get out of glyphosate in less than five years". On Twitter, she says that "despite the vote in Brussels, France remains determined to leave the glyphosate in less than five years. We are working with all actors to find credible alternatives.
