Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: GRG is established for the sole purpose of seeking the renewal of the EU approval for the active substance glyphosate via the regulatory process foreseen under Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009. While other policies and legislation such as the Farm to Fork and the Biodiversity Strategies and the Zero Pollution Package are of relevance to GRG member companies and to the debate on glyphosate, the scope of the GRG activity is restricted to the EU regulatory process covering the assessment of glyphosate.
Communication Activities: The GRG operates a dedicated website (https://www.glyphosate.eu) that serves the following purposes: • Providing glyphosate-related information to interested persons, e.g., about the safety of glyphosate for humans and the environment, about its most important uses and about the authorization process for glyphosate in the European Union. • Offering access to scientific information that is the basis for the safety evaluation and approval of glyphosate in the EU in a transparent way, in particular access to the non-confidential part of the scientific dossier and study reports that have been compiled by the GRG to support the renewal of glyphosate in the EU beyond 2022. • Providing copies of minutes of meetings between the GRG and the competent authorities and copies of correspondence between the GRG and the authorities. • Offering a get-in-touch-form for making contact with the GRG to e.g., request information and obtain feedback on questions and topics related to glyphosate. • Updates related to the renewal of the EU approval of the active substance glyphosate. • Publishing briefings, updates, and positions related to the renewal of the EU approval of the active substance glyphosate and setting glyphosate EQS under the revision of the Water Framework Directive. The GRG also organises events, including events open to the public, and holds meetings with relevant stakeholders in Brussels and member states capitals.
