Popular weed killer’s licence should be renewed– McGuinness

The European Parliament is voting today on whether or not to renew the authorisation of a widely used weed killer. The Parliament’s Environment Committee is urging MEPs not to renew the licence for another 15 years for glyphosate, which is used in weed killers such as Roundup. They’re claiming serious concerns remain about the carcinogenicity and hormone disruptive properties of glyphosate. However the Fine Gael MEP Mairead McGuinness says she’ll vote to review its licence.
