10 new GMOs in the EU for food/feed use

The EU animal feed industry has reacted violently to a European Commission proposal for nationalisation of GM crop imports for food and feed use.

The European Commission last week approved 10 new Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in the EU for food/feed use, seven renewals of existing authorisations, and authorised importation of two GMO cut flowers (carnations, not for food or feed).

These GMOs had gone through a full authorisation procedure, including a favourable scientific assessment by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
