The current approval for the controversial herbicide glyphosate in the EU would have expired on December 15. On Thursday morning, the European Commission announced that the approval would be extended by ten years.
However, there will be new requirements and restrictions, the European Commission announced in Brussels on Thursday.
Previously, too few representatives of EU countries had spoken out in favor of continued use of the drug. This made it possible for the European Commission to make its own decision.
Austria spoke out against the application
During the first vote on October 13, Austria, Croatia and Luxembourg voted against the proposal on the basis of parliamentary resolutions. Six EU countries, including France and Germany, abstained.
