France's National Assembly has voted against a Government bill to ban glyphosate in three years' time. The deadline was a promise of President Emmanuel Macron's Government when the country agreed to re-authorise the leading herbicide ingredient at EU level last year.
A far-reaching farming bill currently before parliament included an obligation to phase out glyphosate by 2021, but MPs voted down this article.
Minister for Agriculture Stéphane Travert has told French media that the Government remainscommitted to the three-year deadline.
