Viewpoint: EU hypocrisy — Europe bans atrazine weedkiller, but continues to produce and market it to Africa

Atrazine is a toxic herbicide banned on the European market, but paradoxically produced by European industries and intended for the African market on the pretext that the shutdown of manufacturing plants risks creating unemployment in the West.

The African Union, ECOWAS etc, must be responsive with an exalted conscience by applying a rigorous policy of jurisprudence and avoid being content to suffer in omerta, the goodwill of a business based on double standards.

In the West, toxic substances are produced, the use of which is prohibited on the European market, but unfortunately these products are delivered excessively to African markets, as if the life and health of the African population had no value.
