Commission authorizes ten genetically modified crops for use as food and animal feed
The Commission has authorized seven genetically modified crops (three maize, two soybeans, one oilseed rape and one cotton) and renewed the authorisations for two maize and one oilseed rape crops used for food and animal feed. All of these GMOs have gone through a comprehensive and stringent authorisation procedure, including a favourable scientific assessment by the European Food Safety Authority. The authorization decisions do not cover cultivation. Member states did not reach a qualified majority either in favour or against at the Standing Committee and at the subsequent Appeal Committee. The European Commission has therefore the legal duty to proceed with the authorizations in line with the scientific advice received. The authorizations are valid for 10 years, and any product produced from these GMOs will be subject to the EU's strict labelling and traceability rules. For more information on GMOs in the EU, see here.
