O PRIMEIRO:

REWE Group removes glyphosate herbicides from its DIY range

                                                                                                               

The REWE Group's 350 toom Baumarkt DIY stores will carry no glyphosate products after September 30, 2015

                                                                                                               

The 350 toom Baumarkt DIY stores belonging to the REWE Group will carry no glyphosate-containing products later than September 30, 2015. From today (11 May) such products cannot be re-ordered for the stores.

By the end of 2013 toom Baumarkt had begun to switch the range and had removed about 60 percent of glyphosate-containing products from sale. Toom Baumarkt offers its customers alternative environmentally acceptable products. Thus toom Baumarkt was well ahead of the upcoming decision on the extension of the EU approval for glyphosate.

"As a responsible company, it is important to regularly review our entire range and seek to protect the environment and nature with alternative and more sustainable options. Toom Baumarkt is constantly and consistently developing a more sustainable portfolio of products," explains Dominique Rotondi, General Purchasing Manager for toom Baumarkt.

Customers of toom Baumarkt DIY stores with garden centers are offered a number of possibilities to combat insect pests, fungus and diseases without the use of chemical agents. Those interested can discuss pest issues with qualified staff and can read further information about  alternative plant protection on the Internet here: http://www.toom-baumarkt.de/ueber-toom-baumarkt/nachhaltigkeit/gruene-produkte

The co-operative REWE Group is one of the leading trade and tourism groups in Germany and Europe. In 2014 the company generated a total turnover of more than EUR 51 billion. The REWE Group, founded in 1927, has 330,000 employees and 15,000 stores in 12 European countries. In Germany in 2014 approximately 228,000 employees in 10,000 stores generated sales of 37 billion euros.

Bermuda Health Minister: Importation of Roundup weed spray suspended

Bermuda Ministry of Health

Today in Bermuda, 11 May 2015

http://www.todayinbermuda.com/news/health/item/1471-health-minister-importation-of-roundup-weed-spray-suspended

The importation of Roundup weed spray has been suspended following the results of a recent study, Health Minister Jeanne Atherden announced today.

Full statement:

The Ministry of Health, Seniors and Environment is committed to promoting safe practices as part of our stewardship of Bermuda's delicate environment. Technical officers stay abreast of trends and scientific developments to ensure that our regulation of all aspects of how we influence the environment around us remains safe and in keeping with best practice.

Following a recent scientific study carried out by a leading cancer agency, the importation of weed spray "Roundup" has been suspended.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization (WHO), recently asked a group of experts from around the world to spend a year examining the data from peer-reviewed studies about Glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in Roundup.

As a result of this research, the (IARC) reported that it had assessed the cancer causing risk to humans of five pesticides including glyphosate.

According to the assessment, the herbicide glyphosate along with two other insecticides were classified as probably carcinogenic to humans. This description is used when there is limited evidence of cancer causing effect on humans and sufficient evidence of it in experimental animals.  Limited evidence means that a positive association has been observed between exposure to the agent and cancer but that other explanations for the observations could not be ruled out. This category is also used when there is limited evidence of cancer causing in humans and strong data on how the agent causes cancer.

Currently, only two of the recently analyzed substances are permitted for importation and use in Bermuda. The remaining three that were reviewed as part of the research are already banned and their use is prohibited.

In light of the recent IARC study, Bermuda will take the following steps:

Effective immediately, all importers of glyphosate/Roundup will be notified that the approval for all glyphosate products has been suspended, pending the continuing assessment of the emerging research.  Our hope is to complete the assessment within six months.  However, orders placed for glyphosate will be honoured, with proof that the order had been placed prior to today, May 11th, 2015. Whilst the restrictions will take effect immediately; there will be a grace period of 14 days from today for current importers of Roundup during which they can make application at the Department of Environmental Protection to import small quantities of low concentrations of Roundup.

No further applications for the importation of glyphosate will be processed during this evaluation period.

I have asked the Department of Environmental Protection to convene a meeting with stakeholders including:

the industry (farmers, landscapers, golf-courses, merchants);

The Bermuda Health Department who are responsible for human health;

The Department of Environmental Protection's regulatory personnel;

The Department of Conservation Services;

The Department of Works and Engineering,who conduct roadside spraying, and

The Department of Parks

I have also asked the Toxicologist at the Health Department to collaborate with the Government Hydro-geologist and jointly conduct research to determine if any of the break-down products of glyphosate are present in the ground water and inshore waters.  A report of findings will be prepared.

Once this important research and assessment is completed, the Government's final determination regarding Roundup (glyphosate) will be made clear for the public.

It is important to note that a similar assessment will be conducted for other pesticides of concern.

The Department of Works and Engineering can be contacted for the proper disposal of pesticides should any members of the public have a container of Roundup which they no longer wish to use.

For more information regarding alternative herbicides, the public can contact the Plant Protection Laboratory at the Department of Environmental Protection at 239-2321.They have a database that lists all of the pesticides imported into Bermuda, as well as where they can be purchased.

On a related front, I am also pleased to advise the public today that I have invited my Cabinet colleagues to support the long overdue development of regulations needed to properly regulate pesticides in Bermuda. The Pesticides Safety Act 2009 was passed by the Legislature but to date; the required Regulations have not been addressed. This important feature of safety and proper enforcement will be introduced to complete the work contemplated by the substantive Act.

I believe that the action we are taking today is prudent and in the best interests of a safe environment for Bermuda. Like any area of science, there are competing studies and a wealth of information on both sides of the argument. Having considered the clear and cogent advice of the Ministry's technical team, I am satisfied that this action is warranted and we are committed to conducting an open and thorough assessment.

Colombia to ban coca spraying herbicide glyphosate

• 10 May 2015
• From the section Latin America & Caribbean - BBC NEWS

Colombia, Peru and Bolivia are the world's biggest cocaine producers Colombia has announced it will stop using a controversial herbicide to destroy illegal plantations of coca, the raw ingredient for cocaine.
The decision follows a warning by the World Health Organization (WHO) that glyphosate is "probably carcinogenic".
The product has been used in US-sponsored crop-spraying anti-narcotics programmes in South America.
President Juan Manuel Santos has said Colombia will need to find other mechanisms to combat coca production.
Anti-narcotics officials in Colombia will have until October to prepare an alternative plan.

'Health risk'

"I am going to ask the government officials in the National Drug Council at their next meeting to suspend glyphosate spraying of illicit cultivations," Mr Santos announced.
"The recommendations and studies reviewed by the Ministry of Health show clearly that yes, this risk exists," he added, making reference to the WHO warning on cancer.
But Colombia will not "lower the guard" in its combat against drug trafficking, said Mr Santos.
Andean countries' farmers have been encouraged to stop growing coca and to switch to other crops The government says Farc rebels protect coca fields and profit from the production of cocaine The Colombian drug eradication programme began in 1994.
The authorities target mainly areas controlled by the country's largest rebel group, the Farc.
They say the Farc use the income from cocaine production to finance its armed struggle.
Other coca-producing countries in the region, including Ecuador and Peru, have also used the herbicide to destroy coca fields.
Farmers say aerial fumigation has destroyed entire fields of coffee and other legal produce.

E POR CÁ?
QUANDO É QUE OS LACAIOS DO AGRO-NEGÓCIO VÃO PROIBIR ESTE VENENO?
ATÉ DENTRO DO PARQUE NATURAL/REDE NATURA 2000 O USAM.
JÁ QUE PARECEM NÃO SABER O QUE É O PRÍNCIPIO DA PRECAUÇÃO,
NEM SEQUER O BOM SENSO,
TENHAM, PELO MENOS, VERGONHA.

MUNDO RURAL, 1º DE MAIO E A RÁDIO

O PROGRAMA "MUNDO RURAL" QUE, DE QUINZE EM QUINZE DIAS, COM TODO O PRAZER, FAÇO NA RÁDIO ELMO 99.1, CAIU, DESTA VEZ, NO DIA UM DE MAIO.
AQUI RECORDANDO O MASSACRE DE OPERÁRIOS, EM CHICAGO NO ANO DE 1886, QUANDO MAIS DE MEIO MILHÃO SAÍRAM À RUA EM PROTESTO PELAS MAIS DE 12 HORAS, ÀS VEZES 16 HORAS, DE TRABALHO. FORAM BARBARAMENTE ASSASSINADOS, À ORDEM DOS EXPLORADORES, PELAS FORÇAS DITAS DE SEGURANÇA.
EM HONRA DOS "MÁRTIRES DE CHICAGO", TRÊS ANOS MAIS TARDE, EM PARIS, O CONGRESSO OPERÁRIO INTERNACIONAL DECRETAVA O DIA 1º DE MAIO COMO O DIA INTERNACIONAL DOS TRABALHADORES.

E, COMO O PROGRAMA É SOBRE O MUNDO RURAL, A AGRICULTURA FAMILIAR, TAMBÉM LEMBREI O BÁRBARO E CRUEL ASSASSINATO DE CATARINA EUFÉMIA, MORTA COM O FILHO DE OITO MESES AO COLO, POR UM ESBIRRO COBARDE, DITO OFICIAL DA GNR, COM TRÊS TIROS À QUEIMA ROUPA PELAS COSTAS, QUANDO PEDIA TRABALHO E PÃO, REIVINDICAVA UM AUMENTO DE UM CÊNTIMO POR DIA, ISSO MESMO UM CÊNTIMO POR DIA. UM CRIME QUE O ASSASSINO NUNCA PAGOU.
ERA ASSIM O REGIME FASCISTA.

TUDO ISTO ANTES DA INTERESSANTE CONVERSA, SOBRE OS PROBLEMAS DA AGRICULTURA, COM O MEU AMIGO, VIZINHO E TAMBÉM AGRICULTOR, MANUEL COELHO.

JÁ NA GUARDA INTEGRADO NO CONVÍVIO DOS TRABALHADORES.

Sobe um rastejar de ratos
calmas canoas no rio?

SONDAGENS E CRISE NA BANCA, EXPLICADAS COM TODA A CLAREZA.

E O RUI DO POÇO
E O MARCELO DA NORA
E O SANTANA DA AZENHA

SURRIPIADO, COM AVISO PRÉVIO, AO QUERIDO AMIGO SÉRGIO RIBEIRO, DO EXCELENTE BELOGUE  "ANÓNIMO SÉC. XXI ".

E A CRISE NA BANCA EXPLICADA TIM TIM POR TIM TIM:

"Tenho andado preocupado com esta situação do Bes/Ges e as acusações dos lesados de que desconheciam o que estavam a comprar. Ora bem, estive a ouvir com toda a atenção Ricardo Salgado, Zeinal Bava, Costa do BP , CMVM, etc, etc, e sinceramente fiquei esclarecido. Fiquei a saber que houve uma take over sobre a PT, o que provocou um dawnsizing na empresa e impediu o advanced freight. Sendo assim, o asset allocation baseado num appraial report, que é o allotment indicado, provocou um average price muito baixo, reduzindo os back to back ao mínimo. Ora, o bid price provocou um dumping e uma floating rate incomportável com o funding previsto pelos supervisores. Deixou, pois de existir uma verdadeira hedge, o que levou ao levantamento de hard cash em grande quantidade. Se considerarmos que o ICVM , ao fim do período estava a deteriorar-se e os pay-out continuavam a baixar, a única solução seria o payabre to the bearer de eventuais incomes da empresa.
Voltando um pouco atrás, o pool entre Bes e Ges , fez diminuir drasticamente o portfólio dos clientes, levando inevitavelmente a um revolving credit que abrangeu a maioria dos shareholders de ambas as empresas. Como é evidente o pricecut da Rio Forte foi inevitável e a take over sobre a mesma também. O gross profit baixou significativamente, aumentando o grade period e o bank rate .
Só para terminar e em jeito de conclusão creio que estamos perante uma grande quantidade de fillhosdaputing, que utilizando a corrupting ao nível central e local, foram delapidanding os recursos do país e continuam em casa riding da situação, deslocando-se de vez em quanding à Assembleia, fazer de parving os deputados e o poving em geral. Tenho dito"

GALEANO, PORQUÊ TU

¿Hasta cuándo los países latinoamericanos seguiremos aceptando las órdenes del mercado como si fueran una fatalidad del destino? ¿Hasta cuándo seguiremos implorando limosnas, a los codazos, en la cola de los suplicantes? ¿Hasta cuándo seguirá cada país apostando al sálvese quien pueda? ¿Cuándo terminaremos de convencernos de que la indignidad no paga? ¿Por qué no formamos un frente común para defender nuestros precios, si de sobra sabemos que se nos divide para reinar? ¿Por qué no hacemos frente, juntos, a la deuda usurera? ¿Qué poder tendría la soga si no encontrara pescuezo?.

• Pequeña muerte llaman en Francia a la culminación del abrazo, que rompiéndonos nos junta y perdiéndonos nos encuentra y acabándonos nos empieza. Pequeña muerte, la llaman; pero grande, muy grande ha de ser, si matándonos nos nace"
