Glyphosate in forests



James,

I don't know for Sylvia de Rooy, but Faizal Moola is talking about glyphosate.
Chemical products based on glyphosate are used in forests and forestry.   In
Flanders (Belgium), this chemical is used for suppressing the all too dominant
Prunus serotina in forests (public and private).  The national FSC working
group is considering to let the chemical be the only one that is allowed to be
used in FSC certified forests in Belgium.  You can imagine the message of Mr.
Moola worries me.
