Dear Minister,
With this letter, PAN Europe would like to share with you detailed information on how to oppose the renewal of national authorisations for glyphosate-based herbicides (hereafter GBHs) as their use may cause harm to people’s health and the environment. The current scientific evidence is unequivocal: GBHs do not meet the safety approval criteria outlined in the European Pesticide Law. At this moment and in the upcoming year, your responsible national authorities will reassess these herbicides and decide on their authorisation. An assessment of GBHs conducted in strict compliance with the European Pesticide Law (Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009) should lead to the non-renewal of national authorisations.
