There is growing evidence that the EU Commission’s extraordinary ruling
of June 29, 2016 granting the toxic weed-killing agent Glyphosate a
reprieve of 18 months until December,
2017 was made in order to allow sufficient time for Bayer AG, the new
owner of Monsanto since December time to bring its substitute
weed-killer on the market once the merger is complete. The issue is
highly controversial not the least owing to a determination from an
agency of the Geneva WHO that glyphosate is a “probable carcinogen.” The
EU Commission ignored that WHO determination, relied on a fraudullent
German government safety assessment and ignored the will of a majority
of EU Governments to give glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s
world-leading weed-killer, Roundup, an artificial life extension.
