What is the final decision?

The Commission adopted the extension of the current approval of glyphosate for a limited period until the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) has concluded its review - since Member States failed to take responsibility (no qualified majority was reached at either the Standing Committee or the Appeal Committee).

In parallel to the extension of the approval, the Commission has already presented to Member States a series of recommendations on the use of glyphosate. Discussions with the Member States have started at expert level, and the Commission will work to have them adopted as soon as possible. The decision will contain three clear recommendations:

1) ban a co-formulant called POE-tallowamine from glyphosate based products;

2) minimise the use of the substance in public parks, public playgrounds and gardens;

3) minimise the pre-harvest use of glyphosate.

It must be noted that it is primarily the responsibility of Member States to decide upon and enforce such measures
...
What could be done in particular as regards the co-formulants?

Co-formulants are used to produce pesticides, but are neither active substances, safeners, nor synergists. They can already be banned or restricted for use at national level.

POE-tallowamine, one of the co-formulants used for glyphosate-based products, has raised concerns regarding its toxicity. The Commission has proposed to Member States to ban POE-tallowamine as a co-formulant in glyphosate-based products and is currently addressing this issue with them as discussions have started at expert level.

It must also be noted that an EU experts' group has already been put together by the Commission with a view to set up the criteria in order to identify an EU list of banned co-formulants.
