Résumé anglais
In 2019, the ENDURE network3launched a survey on the agricultural use of glyphosatein European countries. This report presents the results obtained through the surveyand proposes a framework for understanding and monitoring glyphosate uses.The share of herbicides among all pesticide sales varies from one country to another. It is particularly high in Sweden (where herbicides represented 85% of the total volume of pesticides sold in 2017), Norway (83%), Denmark (82%), Estonia (76%), Ireland (73%), Latvia (73%), Lithuania (63%), United Kingdom (62%) and Poland (61%) and is particularly low in Malta (2%), Cyprus (13%) and Italy (17%).When reported by hectare of agricultural area, the countries with the highest average use of herbicides are Belgium, Netherlands, Cyprus, France, Germany, Denmark and Poland. The average use of herbicides in the agricultural sector at the EU 28+3 level can be estimated at0.62kgof a.i. per hectare. The total volume of herbicides sold in all EU 28+3 countries remained rather stable from 2011 to 2017, while atthe national level, herbicide sales numbers showed a high degree of fluctuation. The ENDURE survey made it possibleto collect data on glyphosate sales in 25countries. In addition, an estimation was calculatedfor the other sevencountriesfor whichno data could be obtained.The total sales of glyphosate are estimated at 46,527 tonnes of a.i. in 2017 across the EU 28+3 (47,452tonnes of a.i. across the EU 28+4). Overall, sales of glyphosate represent33% of total herbicide salesin the EU 28+3. Therefore, glyphosate is one of the most widely used herb...
