The sources show the EU renewed glyphosate's approval until 15 December 2033, and the European Commission states there is no scientific or legal justification for a ban. A 2026 report says the Commission proposed indefinite approval for glyphosate, so no formal phase-out is shown as of 2026-11-06.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… How many countries are using, ah, glyphosate for their agriculture? So, again, this gets to the core point: we are not arguing to ban it tomorrow. The system, unfortunately, over the past several decades, has become addicted to this chemical, and Europe is aggressively trying to use much less of it and trying to get it out of their system, but is on the process of phasing it out much higher than America.

The Joe Rogan Experience · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. The European Commission states that glyphosate is approved in the EU until 15 December 2033 and that there is 'currently no scientific or legal justification for a ban.'[1][2]
Contradicts. A 2026 DW report says the Commission proposed making indefinite approval the default for pesticides, including glyphosate, which runs against a phase-out.[3]
Context. Greens/EFA, an advocacy group, urged EU governments in November 2026 to 'begin the process of phasing-out glyphosate.' This is a call for a phase-out, not evidence that one is underway.[4]
Context. The EU Farm to Fork strategy calls for a 50% cut in pesticide use by 2030, and studies describe reduced glyphosate use, but neither shows a phase-out of the substance itself.[5]
