(ANSA) - BELGRADE, SEP 5 - The EU must not renew the
herbicide glyphosate's authorization, according to three Green
MEPs, Benoit Biteau, Sarah Wiener, and Martin Hausling, who
presented this morning a new Pesticide Action Network study with
the results of a sampling of river and lake water in 12 EU
countries. Glyphosate was found in 17 out of 23 samples (74%),
and in 11 out of 12 countries. Five of 23 samples (22%),
collected in Austria, Spain, Poland, Portugal, contained
glyphosate at levels exceeding safe levels for human
