Dutch NGO's Deliver Petition at Dutch Parliament
222.000 people in the Netherlands and Europe have signed the petition which is delivered to the Parliament by Sum of Us and Greenpeace representatives. They ask the government to vote against the usage of glyphosate, an important component in the herbicide Roundup made by Monsanto. According to the World Health Organization glyphosate can cause cancer. In a week the Second Chamber in the Netherlands will vote about this subject. The Dutch choice can be important for the European policy, earlier this year the EU postponed a decision.
In original language:
Nederlandse NGO's Leveren Petitie bij Nederlandse parlement in Den Haag
Doos met handtekeningen voor het regeringsgebouw van de 2e kamer. Greenpeace Nederland en Sum of Us bieden 222.000 handtekeningen aan tegen een voorstel van de Europese Commissie voor de toelating van glyfosaat in onkruidbestrijdingsmiddelen. Een 'nee' van de Tweede Kamer kan het voorstel van de EU, dat het omstreden middel na negen jaar weer wil toelaten in Europa, tegenhouden. Volgens de WHO is het middel 'waarschijnlijk kankerverwekkend voor mensen'.
