Public consultation on (the application for renewal of the EU authorisation for) the pesticide/herbicide "glyphosate"
Case opened
Case 952/2014/OV - Opened on Wednesday | 18 June 2014 - Decision on Wednesday | 18 November 2015 - Institution concerned European Food Safety Authority ( No maladministration found , Settled by the institution ) - Country United Kingdom
Allegation(s)
EFSA's public consultation procedure for the renewal of the approval of glyphosate is not user friendly because it imposes 1) the mandatory use of an electronic template, as well as 2) the signature of a disclaimer in order to obtain a copy of the renewal assessment report. As a result, the public consultation procedure was unfit for its purpose.
Claim(s)
EFSA should re-open the public consultation process and allow members of the public to submit comments in a timely and convenient way, and outside of the electronic system.
