Europe is buzzing with a new glyphosate scandal. Bayer–Monsanto withheld crucial information, and the agencies that should guard health and environment work with producer-friendly guidelines. Studies commissioned by producers are favored over independent science. Soon the EU countries could give their green light for another 10 years of damage to health and destruction of biodiversity, based on this biased advice. So yes, be alarmed, and please raise your voice.

Criminal Complaint Against Bayer–Monsanto

They did it again! Thought that Bayer would be more polite than Monsanto? Different styles yes, but same goal. Sell products, regardless of harmful consequences. Research revealing possible damage of your top-selling product to the brain or the unborn? Hide it if it’s your own, discredit it or the scientists involved if it’s others’. This happened back in 2017 with the re-authorisation of glyphosate in the EU, it happened again with the current procedure. Enough of a reason for Pesticide Action Network Europe, Global2000 and Générations Futures to file another criminal complaint. This comes on top of the one still running in Austria.
