Question 1391 — dangerous products

Summary

Mr. Daniel Labaronne draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the announcement made by the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to vote against the renewal of glyphosate for 10 years. He wishes to underline the consequences of this decision for farmers, cereal growers and wine growers. On the environmental level, in the absence of an alternative solution to date, glyphosate, used intelligently and in low doses, can significantly improve soil life. Its radical cessation would lead to an increase in soil compaction and erosion, a reduction in biological activity and organic matter levels, as well as a 30% increase in fuel consumption. On an economic level, this would require farmers to make additional investments in equipment and means. humans. This would represent significant losses in competitiveness for farms, many of which are already in difficulty. The problem of unfair competition and imported products also arises. There is currently no scientific unanimity on the consequences of using this herbicide. The European Parliament, during the vote of April 13, 2016, found a compromise of renewal for 7 years with restrictions and limits of use and European Regulation EC No. 1107/2009 allows the approval of an active substance to be withdrawn if new scientific data demonstrates that it no longer meets the approval criteria. He would like to know what the Government plans to reduce the material and financial impact of this announcement on the French agricultural sector while continuing to advance scientific research.
