The controversial herbicide glyphosate, mainly used by Monsanto in Roundup, is to be authorised for use in Europe for five more years. The deadlock over talks for its use were broken when Germany lifted its opposition and abstained (since Germany has a shaky coalition government it was no shock when the minister for ecology and minister for agriculture could not agree with each other). French ecology minister, Nicholas Hulot, has said that controls on the use of glyphosate products will remain and its use will only be allowed for three more years.
