GLYPHOSATE-TASK-FORCE
8.3.2016 18:30:36 CET | Business Wire | Press release
The Glyphosate Task Force (GTF) understands that Member States discussed the re-approval of glyphosate during the Standing Committee meeting of March 7th and 8th, but that no vote has taken place yet.
Richard Garnett, chair of the Glyphosate Task Force, said that “the European approval process for pesticides is rigorous and transparent. In the case of glyphosate, this has been one of the most comprehensive and thorough evaluations of an active substance ever. More than 90,000 pages and more than 3,200 peer-reviewed publications were considered in the assessment by Member States and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). This has been a rigorous, four-year process involving scores of experts on consumer and environmental safety from all 28 of the European Union’s Member States”.
The GTF recognises the importance of discussions between the European Commission and Member States on the draft review report regarding the re-approval of glyphosate at EU level. However the GTF expects that this process will go forward in the weeks ahead and that a vote of Member States regarding the re-approval of glyphosate will take place in due course.

Ny analyse: AI udfordrer SMV’ers digitale konkurrenceevne16.6.2026 09:01:00 CEST | Pressemeddelelse
AI skaber nye konkurrencevilkår og udfordringer for virksomheder digitalt, og særligt SMV’er har svært ved at følge med udviklingen. Det viser en ny undersøgelse blandt over 10.000 europæiske virksomheder, hvoraf 556 af dem er danske. Virksomheder har aldrig haft adgang til så mange digitale kanaler, men med udviklingen af AI, øget konkurrence og skiftende algoritmer er det digitale landskab blevet mere komplekst end nogensinde før, og vilkårene ændrer sig lige nu hurtigere, end mange kan nå at følge med. En ny omfattende erhvervsundersøgelse fra hosting-virksomheden team.blue, som i Danmark har 220 medarbejdere og 250.000 kunder med kontorer i Skanderborg og København, viser, at det er blevet sværere for virksomheder, særligt SMV’er, at styre deres digitale forretningsvækst. Ifølge undersøgelsen, State of European Business Report 2026, som er foretaget blandt mere end 10.000 virksomheder på tværs af 32 lande, herunder 556 fra Danmark, hvoraf størstedelen er SMV’er, er der opstået et s

Signaloid Announces Availability of Amazon AWS Machine Image (AMI) for Accelerating Compute Workloads Ranging from Finance to Reinforcement Learning16.6.2026 06:00:00 CEST | Press release
British computing technology company Signaloid today announced the release of the Signaloid Compute Engine Amazon Machine Image (AMI) via AWS Marketplace. The release enables organizations to deploy Signaloid’s distribution-extended compute hardware (UxHw®) technology within their Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). The AMI provides access to UxHw, which delivers orders-of-magnitude performance improvements on x86_64 and ARM (AArch64) AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances. Without requiring software rewrites, UxHw enables existing applications to compute directly on probability distributions, automating algorithms such as Monte Carlo methods in finance and physics, importance sampling in reinforcement learning, and particle filters in physical AI and robotics.
