ENSSER calls for scientific debate of potential health risks of GM wheat instead of ad
hominem attacks on researchers.

The EU will provisionally allow tiny amounts of unapproved genetically modified organisms in food imports. Draft rules will be proposed shortly, EU officials said on Monday.

Poland, decided to ban all plantings of Monsanto’s MON810, which is a genetically-modified variety of maize that produces its own built-in Bt insecticide in every kernel.

France wishes to reinstate within the next few days a ban on the cultivation of the genetically modified maize crop MON810 despite an overturned decision of the country’s highest court last year.

There is continuous opposition from a number of member states, such as France and Germany, to alter rules on the cultivation of genetically modified crops. The current Danish Presidency of the European Union tabled a compromise plan which could allow Member States to deal with biotech companies before GM crops are approved at EU level or to restrict GM crops despite approval.  The European environment ministers will vote next week in the Council on the Danish proposal which will be dropped if it does not get the majority of support by Member States.

The French government requested on Monday, 20th February, that the European Commission suspends the authorisation for the use of genetically modified MON 810 maize crops from US company Monsanto following results of new studies.

Annual industry figures reveal that the business with genetically modified food in Europe is failing and GM cultivation uncertain, says Greenpeace Europe.
