Glyphosate: European Food Safety Authority responds to critics


Parma, Italy
January 13, 2016

EFSA has replied to criticism of the EU assessment of glyphosate that was overseen by the Authority last year. 

Christopher Portier sent a letter to Vytenis Andriukaitis, the EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, in which he raised a number of objections to the process and the conclusions of EFSA’s assessment. Prof. Portier is a scientist who contributed to a report on glyphosate by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).  

Bernhard Url, EFSA’s Executive Director, has sent a detailed reply to Prof. Portier that addresses the points raised in his letter.
