Monsanto guilty of chemical poisoning in France

Consistent with an enforcement trend by the EU to reduce agricultural pesticides used by 50% between 2008-2018,  a  French court on Monday declared U.S. biotech giant Monsanto guilty of chemical poisoning of a French farmer, a judgment that could lend weight to other health claims against pesticides.

"It is a historic decision in so far as it is the first time that a (pesticide) maker is found guilty of such a poisoning," François Lafforgue, Francois's lawyer, told Reuters.
