Ms Anne Marie Dillon:

On the vote the Deputy mentioned, a proposal was put forward to extend the existing approval. Glyphosate is currently approved but that approval has a deadline of the end of this year. The European Food Safety Authority, EFSA, process - the European review - has been extended owing to the amount of scientific data that it has to go through. The EFSA has indicated that it will take it another number of months to complete that process. To allow the process to be completed, the Commission has put forward a proposal to extend the current approval of glyphosate. That is the vote the Deputy mentioned.
