The European Parliament has backed
restrictions on the use of glyphosate – the world’s most used weedkiller and a
shortening of its licence, amid rising health concerns. The World
Health Organisation’s [WHO] International Agency for Research on Cancer has
said that glyphosate is a probable carcinogen. However, the European Food
Safety Authority said in November 2015 that there was no evidence of a cancer
link. The Independent MEP Marian Harkin says
today’s vote to restrict the use of glyphosate didn’t go far enough.
