E.L.I.O.T. - ENHANCING LITERACY BASIC SKILLS AND FIGHTING DROPOUT WITH CROSS- CURRICULAR THEATRICAL EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING "IF I WERE A MEP" DOSSIER and Proposal template A file for each topic Topic PRESERVATION OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENT Country ITALY Political group EFDD Subtopic description Glyphosate, produced by Monsanto multinational, is the most widespread weed killer in the world due to its efficacy and the minor toxicity in relation to other products available at the time of its marketing. An article published in 2012 demonstrated its carcinogenic qualities but was not followed by higher quality surveys. Glyphosate represents the case of a not sufficiently demonstrated carcinogenic quality for which the precaution principle has been put into practice: not forbidding its use completely but constituting limits and controls waiting for further studies. The EFDD group presented an amendment to forbid with immediate effectthe circulation of glyphosate throughout European Union. As the amendment has not passed we decided to accept no compromise because we have the right to aspire to a different world and not necessarily play with the Political position best you can have from rules at stake. Three days after our vote in Plenary, the Commission put into discussion a proposal on topic where it can be clearly read that „the European Parliament has adopted some resolutions renewing the approval of the active substance Glyphosate‟ Proposal description With reference to the precaution principle, which must be adopted any time there are doubts about toxicity of a substance, our group asks for temporary suspension of sale and utilization of Glyphosate weed killer, waiting that the commission established on 6 th February 2018 with the task of verifying the authorization procedures of all pesticides in the European Union arrives to undoubted conclusions about such product.
