    It seems I read (quite some time ago) this is due to trade agreements with the US? I do know that Roundup was due to be banned in Mexico, but after pressure from the USA, it never happened.

      Oh there will be all sorts of overt and covert pressures being brought on a government already naturally inclined to be light on regulation. There definitely were concerns in the early days about a potential trade deal with America resulting in a degradation of our food standards - chlorinated chicken was the leading horror there.
