We’ve known it all along, and now you know it too: atrazine is not banned in
the European Union. The Australian government explains it well in its recent
report:
It is frequently asserted that atrazine has been banned in the EU. This is an
incorrect interpretation of the EC decision. Atrazine has not been assessed and
de-registered because of a human health or environmental concern. It is not on
any EU ‘banned list” and could theoretically be reregistered in the EU should
the product registrant provide all the required data. Terbuthylazine, a
herbicide very closely related to atrazine is registered in the EU.
