Spain: According to Kistià ±e Garcia of the Spanish NGO, Ecologistas en Accià ³n, Barcelona, Madrid, Zaragoza and the region of Extremadura have decided to ban glyphosate. The regions of La Rioja (major Spanish wine region) and Aragon have also approved motions against endocrine disrupting chemicals, including glyphosate.
Sri Lanka: Banned the private and commercial sale of glyphosate. Sri Lanka was the first country to issue a nationwide ban on glyphosate.
Sweden: Raised concerns about glyphosate safety and has pushed against relicensing the herbicide in the EU. In 2017, the Swedish Chemicals Agency (SCA) announced it was planning to tighten rules on private use of plant protection products. Under the plan, private users would only be allowed to use products containing "low-risk substances." According to the SCA, glyphosate is an example of an active substance not expected to be included among low-risk substances, meaning in due time, private consumers may not be permitted to use herbicides containing glyphosate.
Switzerland: Concerned about public well-being, the Swiss supermarket chains Migros and Coop removed glyphosate-based products from their shelves due to health risks. In 2017, the Green party put forth a plan to ban glyphosate in Switzerland. The proposed plan was rejected by the Federal Council, Switzerland's executive.

A superb and relevant article that also appeared her at OpEdNews:
Please Eat Our Cheese Pleads the Dairy Lobby As Sales NosediveThe presence of the carcinogenic bovine growth hormones is yet another reason to abandon milk, which I did about ten years ago. It is a shame to have to pay twice as much rGBH-free cheese. I am surprised more Americans don't comprehend how much of this biochemical mayhem is brought to you by MONSANTO (now Bayer), but as a nation, we are generally asleep at the wheel, and laboring under the infantile premise that the FDA "is there to protect us."
What could be more ludicrous!!!!! Like the Canadian wheat farmers whose wheat has been rejected by both Korea and Japan, maybe more farmers will wake to realize their folly in following the edicts of Monsanto/Bayer.
