Communicatie door de autoriteiten

Op deze pagina vindt u kopieën van de correspondentie tussen de Glyphosate Renewal Group en de regelgevende instanties die betrokken zijn bij de procedure om de EU-vergunning voor glyfosaat te verlengen. Regelmatige communicatie tussen de betrokken partijen is een normale praktijk bij regelgevingsprocessen.

Soms zijn schriftelijke uitwisselingen nodig om toelichting te geven zonder formele vergaderingen af te wachten. In overeenstemming met zijn streven naar transparantie zal de Glyphosate Renewal Group de correspondentie met de Beoordelingsgroep voor Glyfosaat (AGG) en andere regelgevende instanties bekendmaken.
