YouTube Description
as posted by the channelVideo #9 of 14 from European Parliament Hearing: ‘The Monsanto Papers and Glyphosate’ © European Union, 2017
On Oct. 12, 2017, European Parliament held a public hearing discussing the Monsanto Papers and glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer.
Glyphosate is the most widely-used agricultural chemical in the world. However, concerns have been raised over the chemical’s link to cancer.
In this hearing held by the Environment (ENVI) and Agriculture (AGRI) Committees in the EU Parliament, legislators, public health advocates, scientists and others convened to provide expert analysis on glyphosate, with particular attention paid to the stunning revelations from the Monsanto Papers, which can be viewed in their entirety here
The video above includes a presentation by Dr. David Kirkland, one of several scientists who accepted money from Monsanto for consulting work, per the Monsanto Papers. Kirkland’s presentation was largely based on a glyphosate review that was funded by Monsanto via a consulting firm called Intertek.
“We all work as consultants, so yes, various organizations pay us to spend our time looking at data, providing analyses and recommendations just as you would pay an architect or an accountant to provide you with professional advice,” said Kirkland. “We all have decades of experience in the industry and therefore we have reputations to maintain, and that means that there is no point in us responding to the influence of one stakeholder over another because those reputations would be destroyed.”
