The following is a statement from Amy van Saun, senior attorney at CFS and lead counsel in the case:

In its 6月 2022 decision, a monumental victory for farmworkers and the environment, the Court held significant parts of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ’s glyphosate “interim” registration decision unlawful, including striking down its cancer safety determination for farmworkers and others exposed and ordering EPA to comply with the Endangered Species Act before approving glyphosate. The Court sent the current process back to the agency and ordered EPA to complete its work and make a new decision by an 10月 1, 2022 deadline.

(この決定は、癌の安全性の決定や生態毒性の評価など、EPA のグリホサート決定の主要部分を最終決定したにもかかわらず、「暫定的」という誤った名前が付けられました。)

Instead, EPA today told the Court that, rather than complying with the Court’s directive, it was simply taking its ball and going home: EPA scrapped the entire glyphosate registration it had previously approved, adding the rest to the parts the Court had already held unlawful and set aside. EPA said it was instead going to focus only on another future glyphosate decision and loop all these outstanding questions—with regards to cancer, harm to endangered species and the environment more broadly, glyphosate drift harm to other farmer’s crops, and more—into that decision, which EPA “anticipates” will be completed in 2026.

On the one hand, today is another major victory: EPA has now conceded defeat for all of the broken interim registration. On the other hand, today’s announcement is also an irresponsible cop-out to try and get around the Court’s deadline to fix its legal violations. And in the meantime, EPA is letting glyphosate be sold and sprayed, despite outstanding significant questions about its health and environmental safety. Instead, EPA should cancel glyphosate products until and unless it reassesses their risks and ensures their safety lawfully. It cannot: Due to cancer concerns, Monsanto/Bayer has already agreed to stop selling Roundup for consumers by 2023. EPA should now cancel its other uses as well.
