9月28日，歐美媒體報道，歐盟歐洲議會投票決定，禁止美國孟山都公司說客出席該會議。這是歐盟官方首次決定拒絕企業(yè)參與該機構(gòu)會議。
報道分析說，禁止的理由主要是：孟山都公司拒絕出席關(guān)于指控該公司產(chǎn)品安全性的研討聽政會。還有分析說，孟山都公司和歐盟官員聯(lián)手作弊聲稱轉(zhuǎn)基因作物及其捆綁農(nóng)藥【安全】的真相已經(jīng)暴露于世，歐盟機構(gòu)借此表達了擺脫官商勾結(jié)的腐敗陰影的意愿。
分析還說，與此同時，歐盟成員國正在決定是否徹底禁用孟山都草甘膦;眾目睽睽之下，必須嚴防利益沖突干擾決定。美國法庭已經(jīng)開始受理美國大批農(nóng)戶客戶就孟山都產(chǎn)品造成的健康損害、生態(tài)危害和經(jīng)濟損失而提出的規(guī)模集體訴訟;法庭允許公開的孟山都內(nèi)部郵件證明該公司為推銷轉(zhuǎn)基因作物及其捆綁農(nóng)藥而搞了大量欺騙活動。美國加州立法規(guī)定，孟山都產(chǎn)品草甘膦必須標識可致癌。世衛(wèi)組織已向全球說明草甘膦可致癌。美國農(nóng)業(yè)區(qū)四個州當局決定限用或禁用孟山都試圖替代草甘膦的麥草畏。這些都是歐盟會議所必須認真考慮的。
讀后感：過去，在歐洲，抵制或拒絕孟山都多是民眾或非官方組織，而歐盟官方機構(gòu)往往做出不得罪、甚至有利于孟山都的決定。這是頭一次，歐盟官方機構(gòu)公開表示拒絕孟山都公司。因此，故事似乎平淡無奇或小事一樁，但其意義足夠重要。在徹底禁止轉(zhuǎn)基因農(nóng)業(yè)的道路上，歐洲又邁出了重要一步。

Monsanto banned from European Parliament.
By EUOBSERVER，2017-09-28, 12:19.
Monsanto employees are to be denied access to the European Parliament. The decision was taken Thursday by the conference of the presidents, which includes the inst itution's president and political group leaders, after the chemical multinational refused to participate in a hearing on glyphosate, a weedkiller that is used in Monsanto's Roundup product. The firm is suspected of influencing scientific assessments, on which EU decisions to authorise the product were based.

European MPs agreed that lobbyists representing controversial US-based agricultural giant Monsanto should be barred from the European Parliament after the company refused to attend a hearing on allegations that it influenced studies on the safety of its products.
The measure includes meeting MEPs, attending parliamentary committee meetings and using the parliament’s digital resources in Brussels or Strasbourg, following a vote in which all major parliamentary factions supported the ban.

MEPs withdraw parliamentary access after the firm shunned a hearing into allegations that it unduly influenced studies into the safety of glyphosate used in its RoundUp weedkiller.
Monsanto lobbyists have been banned from entering the European parliament after the multinational refused to attend a parliamentary hearing into allegations of regulatory interference.
It is the first time MEPs have used new rules to withdraw parliamentary access for firms that ignore a summons to attend parliamentary inquiries or hearings.
Monsanto officials will now be unable to meet MEPs, attend committee meetings or use digital resources on parliament premises in Brussels or Strasbourg.
