In particular, the petitioning association argued that the risk assessment method was inappropriate from the point of view of human health and the environment, since AFSSA confined itself to analyzing the effects of the active substance alone, and not of the substance mixed with co-formulants. The Council of State ruled that the association had not provided sufficient details to assess the merits of these arguments. However, in a ruling dated June 29, 2021 (no. 19LY01017), the Lyon Administrative Court of Appeal upheld another request by CRIIGEN to cancel an AAM for a glyphosate-based product, Roundup Pro 360.
