It is interesting that all of the supporting research reports are done by
Bayer. Are they published anywhere or, like the soil study on PEI for
imidacloprid half life, are they "proprietary information" that the public
cannot even access through "access to information legislation" (which is
something we have in Canada)?
How does it work in the US? When Bayer submits the reports to EPA for a
registration, are they then accessible somewhere? I thought that the idea
of publishing scientific papers was that someone could repeat the
experiments for INDEPENDENT verification. It does not seem that EPA
repeated much of anything, except some analytical procedures.
