Bayer announced that it is in agreement with counsel representing the proposed Roundup settlement class on their decision to withdraw the pending motion for preliminary approval of the parties’ issue class agreement.
Bayer issued the following statement today in response to motions to intervene filed in Rural Coalition et al. v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency et al. and a parallel case brought by the Natural Resources Defense Council, cases which challenge EPA’s Interim Registration Review Decision on glyphosate.
