Germany prepares for end of glyphosate
Political agreement has been reached in Germany to end use of glyphosate by December 31, 2023. It represents something of a U-turn compared to Germany’s decisive 2017 vote in favour which made possible the EU’s extension of approval of glyphosate use to December 15, 2022.
It is also a setback for Bayer AG, one of Germany’s biggest companies, which acquired Roundup and other glyphosate-based weedkillers as part of its $63 billion takeover of Monsanto last year.
