This Tuesday, the European Commission has approved the registration of a European citizens' initiative that calls for a ban on glyphosate. Its organizers now have a year to collect a million signatures of people in favour of the proposal from at least seven countries in order to force Brussels to react three months later.
The initiative is asking the Community Executive to ban this herbicide, to reform the approval procedure and to set European targets for the compulsory reduction of its use.
