欧盟成员国将在下周召开会议,试图在草甘膦许可证到期前(2016年6月30日到期)通过一个更短的草甘膦续登记有效期的提案。最初,欧盟委员会提出15年的草甘膦续展登记有效期,但是后来国际癌症研究机构(IARC)公布报告表示草甘膦“可能”会致癌后,欧盟委员会将有效期减至9年。该提案由于缺乏成员国足够的支持又受到法国和德国的反对,两次 EU member states will meet next week in an attempt to renew the proposal of renewing the validity period through a shorter glyphosate period before the glyphosate license expires (June 30, 2016). Initially, the European Commission proposed the renewal of glyphosate registration for 15 years, but later the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) released a report that glyphosate could “cause cancer” after the European Commission reduced its validity period to 9 years. The proposal was twice supported by the lack of adequate support from member states and opposition from France and Germany
