I have to apologize if I misstated the facts.  I was not aware that there
might be a difference between "permitted" and "registered".  AFAIK, in the
US nothing is permitted unless it is registered.  My sole source of
knowledge concerning European use of Oxalic for Varroa comes from members of
this list.  That said, in the very recent past there have been comments from
beekeepers in Italy, France, and the UK concerning the successful use of
Oxalic, and I seem to recall similar comments from Germany in the more
distant past.

Didn't we just hear today that use of Oxalic does not disqualify honey from
qualification as Organic in a European country?  Doesn't that acknowledge
that Oxalic is being used and is ok?
