Foodwatch Netherlands and Greenpeace are disappointed in the Commission's decision.,, The decision is not in the interest of consumers and contrary to the precautionary principle as enshrined in European legislation. That requires that as long as there is scientific uncertainty as to the safety, it should be granted a new license, '' said Food Watch.

Herman van Bekkem, campaign manager at Greenpeace Agriculture, finds it bizarre that this decision is simply pushed through by the Commission.,, The ball is now in the Dutch government. It would use by individuals and the death spraying crops for harvest- in view of the high risk for human exposure- should be banned priority. ''
