Bayer bought Monsanto along with extensive internal discussions with legal on the liabilities facing Monsanto with RoundUp and these adverse findings on some pesticides. Yet, there are human beings who will use stealth and obscurity to sign these approvals and take the money home.

Those who profit are not those who are harmed -- is this not crystal clear that politics must resolve toxic (and highly profitable) chemical industry practices ?

It comes in because the subheading and first paragraph are carefully written to capture brexit-inflamed eyeballs.

They do later tell you "11 countries to allow emergency use of the product" and "The UK ... joined EU countries including Belgium, Denmark and Spain in signing emergency authorisations", but easy to miss on the first skim.

That doesn't of course imply that it's a great idea. A 25% decline in £18m worth of sugar doesn't really sound like a big enough deal, but maybe localized short-term use of chemical weapons also isn't such a big deal, I don't know?

It's not quite the same to lift the ban entirely (UK) than to give individual, temporary exemptions to farmers that have difficulties for whatever reason.

edit:Welp, I can't read. Seems it's also temporary emergency use.
