FRANCE PULLS
BACK FROM BANNING GLYPHOSATE: In a vote
held late Monday, French lawmakers reversed course from a pledge to phase out
use of the herbicide glyphosate by 2021, reports POLITICO EU's Simon Marks.
Last year, after Europe voted to renew glyphosate's license for another five
years, French President Emmanuel Macron backed a plan to prevent farmers from
using the herbicide, an effort that proponents argued would protect the
environment and public health. Monday's vote came after a lengthy debate on a
series of proposed laws designed to regulate France's food and ag sectors.

DENMARK: MOST EU COUNTRIES BACK RETALIATION AGAINST U.S.
TARIFFS: Denmark is "pretty confident" that a large majority of
EU countries will back retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. if Trump does not
grant the EU a permanent exemption from the steel and aluminum duties, Business
Minister Brian Mikkelsen told our colleague Hans von der Burchard in Brussels
on Monday.
Mikkelsen's assessment that most EU members want to push back at
the U.S. comes amid repeated calls from German Economy Minister Peter
Altmaier to
take a soft approach toward Washington and avoid immediate retaliation.
"I had myself a bilateral meeting with Wilbur Ross about
this and I told him even though we are against trade sanctions, we have to
react once, for example, they impose trade sanctions against us,"
Mikkelsen said. "So even though I think it could escalate the conflict and
it would be a mutual disaster for both Europe and the U.S., we support very
much a strong reaction against the U.S. to show them that this is not the right
way to go." [POLITICO's Morning Trade, May

AI SUMMIT IN
GERMANY: Some of Germany’s
leading AI experts will meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel and some ministers
for a closed-door meeting in her chancellery. The idea is to kick off a process
that will lead to Germany releasing its own artificial intelligence strategy by
this fall — something Europe’s
largest economy still hasn’t done, unlike, for example, neighboring
France. It’s about time, a team of German AI researchers warns in a
detailed paper set to be published this Wednesday and seen by POLITICO’s
Janosch Delcker. [POLITICO Brussels Playbook, May 28, 2018]
