Glyphosate Renewal Group (GRG) har lämnat in en 180 000-sidig dokumentation till Europeiska myndigheten för livsmedelssäkerhet för att tas i beaktande av rapporterande medlemsstat (Rapporteur Member State, RMS) utvärderingsgruppen om glyfosat (Assessment Group on Glyphosate, AGG), bestående av Frankrike, Ungern, Nederländerna och Sverige, med ansökan om förlängning av det verksamma ämnet glyfosat.
RMS har utvärderat denna dokumentation och avgett en samrådsversion av sin bedömning (förslaget till förnyad bedömningsrapport (draft Renewal Assessment Report, dRAR).
Som en del av GRG:s åtagande för transparens tillhandahåller vi korta sammanfattningar av olika delar av dRAR, däribland indikationer på hur GRG i förekommande fall avser reagera på de frågor som tas upp av RMS.

The GRG performed a kinetics re-analysis of the data from 22 sets of grass residue trials on which the mean DT50 value of 2.8 days is based as presented in the EFSA (2015) conclusion on glyphosate.
Läs mer about the GRG Position on Grass Residue Decline Data for Chronic Wild Mammal Risk AssessmentThere is considerable information originating from both the scientific literature and media about the detection of glyphosate in the foods we eat, and consequently, in urine. Unfortunately, these reports often come with little context on how the data is obtained or what the reported values mean in terms of safety.

During the symposium, experts discussed the Assessment Group on Glyphosate’s recently released draft Renewal Assessment Report (dRAR) endpoints and proposed classification for glyphosate in Europe.

Läs mer about the effects on non-target speciesThe RMS have re-evaluated glyphosate for its potential to be an endocrine disruptor concluding glyphosate is not an endocrine disruptor through the estrogenic, androgenic, thyroid, and steroidogenic pathways.
