Bayer obtient un succès dans la procédure de règlement sur le glyphosate

L'entreprise Bayer, basée à Leverkusen, a remporté un succès juridique important dans son litige avec les plaignants concernant le glyphosate aux États-Unis. Le règlement prévu d'une valeur de 7,25 milliards de dollars reste devant un tribunal du Missouri.

Des cabinets d'avocats représentant des plaignants individuels avaient échoué dans leur tentative de transférer la procédure en Californie. Un juge fédéral basé là-bas avait déjà rejeté une précédente tentative de règlement de Bayer il y a cinq ans.

La procédure de règlement annoncée en février, d'un montant de 7,25 milliards de dollars, avait déjà reçu une approbation préliminaire du tribunal du Missouri au printemps. Cela élimine un obstacle juridique pour l'entreprise.

Cependant, plus de 100 objections et demandes reconventionnelles contre le règlement ont été déposées, selon des sources dans les milieux juridiques américains.
