The European Parliament is voting today on
whether or not to renew the authorisation of a widely used weed killer. The
Parliament’s Environment Committee is urging MEPs not to renew the licence for
another 15 years for glyphosate, which is used in weed killers such as Roundup.
They’re claiming serious concerns remain about the carcinogenicity and hormone
disruptive properties of glyphosate. However the Fine Gael MEP Mairead
McGuinness says she’ll vote to review its licence.
