The goal is to collect at least one million signatures from Europeans and submit the petition before the Commission’s next move to renew, withdraw or extend the EU licence of glyphosate.Locations:Belgium-Berlaymont building-BrusselsDate:8 Feb, 2017Credit:© Eric De Mildt / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5000px X 3337pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Agriculture-Banners-Day-European Commission (EC)-European Union (EU)-Food for Life (campaign title)-Gas masks-Glyphosate-Greenpeace activists-KWCI (GPI)-Men-Monsanto-Outdoors-Pesticides-Small group of people-Toxics (campaign title)Shoot:Activity in Brussels to Launch European Citizens’ Initiative to Ban GlyphosateGreenpeace activists and members of other environmental and health organisations meet in Brussels (as well as Madrid, Rome, Berlin and Paris) to launch a European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) to ban glyphosate, reform the EU pesticide approval process, and set mandatory targets to reduce pesticide use in the EU.
