I have been told that he has since changed his mind and now acknowledges
that
the problems continue unabated despite the banning of Gaucho and Regent on
some
forage crops.

Interesting as the ban went into effect years ago and his position is well
documented.
(also  in the archives) Henri has sent me quite a bit of information backing
up his position over the years and his position was explained to me by
Maryam & George of the "Vanishing Bees" after they documented his
observations on what happened in France..

Curious?

Maybe Henri will come on BEE-L and state his *new* position as Gavin says
the above is "what I have been told".
