                        Glyphosate could be re-approved soon in Europe and 
French President Macron, who promised to ban it, is letting it happen.

                        Tell Macron to oppose re-approving glyphosate’s EU 
pesticide licence in 2022.

            Will glyphosate finally be banned in the European Union after 
2022?

            Roundup, Monsanto-Bayer’s infamous weedkiller was reauthorized 
for 5 years at the end of 2017 after numerous scandals: Monsanto papers, 
lawsuits in the United States, illegal acquisition of journalists and 
activists private data...

            An extension of this authorization is being debated again, and 
the battle is far from being won.

            Tell French President Macron to oppose the European relicensing 
of glyphosate.

            ​​Dangerous for the environment and public health, it is more 
than urgent to do away with glyphosate in France and in Europe and to start 
a real agricultural and food transition.

            It is known since 2015 that this substance is classified as 
"probably carcinogenic to humans" by the International Agency for Research 
on Cancer (IARC), an agency of the World Health Organization. Recently, 
France’s own National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) 
strengthened the analysis of risks associated with glyphosate.

            Emmanuel Macron had pledged to phase out glyphosate in France 
"no later than" early 2021. He did not keep this promise, but France, which 
will take over the rotating presidency of the EU in January 2022, can and 
must play a leading and unambiguous role to ban glyphosate in Europe.

            Let's demand together that France publicly oppose the renewal of 
the authorization of this toxic pesticide in Europe.
