SRI LANKA
On April 27, 2021, the Sri Lankan government decided to ban importing chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides and to replace them with organic inputs and methods. This decision was supported by many, including the Global Alliance for Organic Districts, who petitioned for the President’s collaboration in order to include Sri Lanka to an international network of local organic districts.
Sri Lanka’s shift towards organic farming
In June 2021, the World Future Council awarded Sri Lanka, among 4 others, with a Special Future Policy Award for “most effective policy solutions that minimise the adverse effects of exposure to chemicals on human health and the environment”. Sri Lanka’s pesticide regulations, as well as Sri Lanka‘s National Policy and Action Plan on Prevention of Suicide of 1997, have contributed to one of the greatest decreases in suicide rates ever achieved globally.

In 2014 Sri Lanka was the first state that banned glyphosate after the publication of a study on the correlation between the use of glyphosate-based pesticides and Chronic Interstitial Nephritis in Agricultural Communities (CINAC). In 2018, however, the Government lifted the ban on the weedicide glyphosate. In 2019, the two Sri Lankan scientists – authors of the above mentioned study – who were to receive a prestigious award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) were informed that their selection was placed “under review,” two days after they were announced as the recipients.

EUROPE
In 2017, European citizens have joined forces through the ECI – European Citizens Initiative to Stop Glyphosate. Within five months, more than one million EU citizens joined the ECI to revoke the authorization of glyphosate use in all member states and to reform procedures for the approval of pesticides in Europe. This is not a “binding” instrument, but the European Commission is obliged to respond and thus to also give political insight into the subject.
European Citizens Initiative to #StopGlyphosate – Navdanya international
Six member states that opposed the re-authorisation glyphosate, the world’s most commonly used weedkiller, sent a letter to the European Commission in December 2017 asking the EU executive to conduct a study and look into alternatives to the controversial substance. In their letter to Commission First Vice-President Frans Timmermans and EU health chief Vytenis Andriukaitis, the six ministers of agriculture or environment from France, Belgium, Greece, Luxembourg, Slovenia and Malta reiterated their “concerns” about the risks of the use of glyphosate.

Glyphosate is currently approved in the EU until 15 December 2022. Therefore, glyphosate can be used as an active substance in Plant Protection Products (PPPs), until that date, subject to each PPP being authorised by national authorities following an evaluation of its safety. On 10 May 2019, the Commission appointed four Member States (France, Hungary, the Netherlands and Sweden) acting jointly as ‘rapporteurs’ for the next assessment of glyphosate – this group of Member States is known as the Assessment Group on Glyphosate (AGG). On 12 December 2019, the Glyphosate Renewal Group (a group of companies seeking the renewal of approval of glyphosate in the EU), sent an application for the renewal of approval of glyphosate post-2022 to the AGG, the other Member States, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Commission. This application formally initiates the renewal process in the EU as provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Status of glyphosate in the EU
On June 15, 2021, four EU member states (France, Hungary, the Netherlands and Sweden) released a statement which concluded that glyphosate does not pose risks for human health. Such a conclusion contradicts scientific evidence of the association between exposure to the popular pesticide and the development of cancer. This announcement represents the first step in the new safety assessment of glyphosate, the current market approval of which will expire in December 2022.
AUSTRIA
In July 2019, the Austrian parliament passed a total ban on glyphosate, which was due to come into force on January 1st, 2020, but the country’s caretaker leader announced she would not sign the ban into law, currently tabling the bill.

BELGIUM
In Belgium, the use of glyphosate was first banned by the Regions. But the Federal remained in charge of its marketing. Since 2018, the marketing, sale and private use of all herbicides, such as “Roundup”, is prohibited. Since the 31st of December 2018, the sale of selective herbicides (for example, herbicide that removes dandelions, daisies, etc. in a lawn) is also prohibited. The Brussels government banned the use of glyphosate on its territory in line with the region’s “zero pesticides” policy, but the European Commission rolled it back in October 2018.

FRANCE
In January 2019, French authorities banned the sale of a form of glyphosate-based weed-killer Roundup following a court ruling that regulators failed to take safety concerns into account when clearing the widely used herbicide. In May 2019, French Agriculture Minister Didier Guillaume confirmed that France would eliminate glyphosate use by 2021 with limited exceptions. At the end of August 2019, the administrative court of Rennes ruled against a decree, issued by the mayor of Langouët (Ille-et-Vilaine) in Brittany, which imposed a distance of 150 meters between people’s homes and workplaces and chemically treated fields. In response, citizens’ movements expressed their outrage and the political debate became heated across the country. Around 56 other small French towns and villages have issued similar anti-pesticide orders and are putting pressure on the government, which launched a public consultation on safety distances. This was followed by the signature of an order, by the president of the Val-de-Marne departmental council banning the use of pesticides that contain glyphosate throughout the department on September 10th. On September 12th, 2019, the metropolitan areas of Paris, Lille, Nantes, Grenoble and Clermont-Ferrand also announced a ban on the use of pesticides in their territories.

GERMANY
Farmers in Germany will have to gradually reduce their use of glyphosate and stop using it completely from 2024 in order to preserve clean habitats for insects, under draft legislation passed by the country’s cabinet on February 10th, 2021. The law needs to be passed by both the Bundestag lower house and the Bundesrat upper house which represents the interests of the 16 regional governments in Germany, a process that typically takes several months.

GREECE
Since EU reapproval of glyphosate-based weed killers in November 2017, environmental groups in Greece are putting pressure on the government to roll back its decision to market them in the country. This in spite of the fact that Greece had voted against the EU reapproval as in December 2017, it was one of the countries who sent a letter to the European Commission asking the EU executive to conduct a study for alternatives.

ITALY
In August 2016 Italy’s Ministry of Health placed a number of restrictions on the use of glyphosate, including banning its use as a pre-harvest treatment, and in areas frequented by the public or by “vulnerable groups” including children and the elderly.

In 2014, the municipality of Mals held a popular referendum on pesticides, considering that in South Tyrol the average use per hectare is among the highest in Italy due to the apple monocultures. About 70% of the population entitled to vote, participated in the referendum and, with a large majority of 76%, voted to ban pesticides from the territory of Mals. However, the Regional administrative tribunal (TAR) blocked the vote from becoming operational.
Approximately 70 municipalities have banned or restricted the use of pesticides on the basis of the Precautionary Principle in the country. Among those are the four provincial capitals of Belluno, Bolzano, Trento and Verona. Regulations vary from banning the use of chemicals on private and public greenery in cities, to creating more strict and controlled safety distances between residential areas and fields where chemicals are sprayed. They are, as well, calling for larger areas to come under organic farming and for more protection for organic farms from accidental pesticide contamination. In Vallarsa municipality (province of Trento), citizens also succeeded in bringing about the application of the “Polluters Pay Principle”, whereby those who do not cultivate organically must activate an insurance policy for the compensation of expenses and damages caused by pollution due to their activity.

SWITZERLAND
On June 13, 2021, Swiss citizens were called to vote for the outlawing of synthetic pesticides. A citizens’ initiative, turned referendum. In case the ‘Yes’ vote should have won, the ban would extend from agriculture, to private use, and to the import and marketing of foodstuffs containing synthetic chemicals. 1,279,825 votes and a turnout of 59.7% were unfortunately not enough, and the two publicly proposed initiatives were rejected.
In 2015 Switzerland supermarkets Coop and Migros, issued an independent ban on all products containing glyphosate from their shelves, while the Swiss government has blocked a proposed ban in 2017. Instead, Switzerland placed a ban on other common pesticide chemicals chlorpyrifos and chlorpyrifos-methyl to be instituted on July 1, 2020.
