How is it possible to have at the same time "Homologuation in Europe requires [...]" (present tense) and "[...] is banned in Europe since 2006" ?

However, the source exactly states in "a judgment that could lend weight to other health claims against pesticides". I restored that information. Gandydancer (talk) 23:41, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

so it does. thanks for catching that - that was a bad mistake on my part Jytdog (talk) 01:22, 5 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
It's certainly hard to understand how it could be missed since the statement is the very first sentence of the source article. I also note that Formerly 98 added a citation needed tag to the info re the EU ban even though the source says "Monsanto's Lasso was banned in France in 2007 following an EU directive after the product had already been withdrawn in some other countries". While that source may not be good enough for you and Formerly, I think that most people would accept it. At any rate, I found another source and removed the tag.

Yeah i know, first sentence. i generally skip the lead of news stories as it repeats what is below. but yeah i missed this. good catch.Jytdog (talk) 20:25, 5 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • I was unaware of this lawsuit, and this Talk page exchange. Fascinating, in light of subsequent events. Jusdafax (talk) 11:35, 9 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
