EK odobrila upotrebu GM soje Monsanta i Bajera

Evropska komisija je danas (22. jul) odobrila tri genetički modifikovana organizma za upotrebu u hrani i hrani za životinje (soju MON 87708xMON 89788, soju MON 87705xMON 89788 i soju FG 72).

Svi navedeni GMO prošli su sveobuhvatan postupak odobrenja, pa su dobili pozitivnu naučnu ocenu Evropske agencije za bezbednost hrane (EFSA). Odluke o odobrenju ne odnose se na uzgoj.

Ishod glasanja država članica u stalnom i žalbenom odboru po pitanju danas odobrenih GMO bio je da "nema mišljenja", pa je Komisija donela odobrenja koja su bila na čekanju.

Odobrenja traju deset godina, a na sve proizvode proizvedene od tih GMO primenjivaće se stroga pravila EU od ozačavanju - numeraciji i sledljivosti.

Commission authorises three genetically modified soybeans for food/feed uses

Today the Commission authorised three GMOs for food/feed uses (soybean MON 87708 x MON 89788, soybean MON 87705 x MON 89788 and soybean FG 72), all of which have gone through a comprehensive authorisation procedure, including a favourable scientific assessment by EFSA. The authorisation decisions do not cover cultivation. The GMOs approved today had received "no opinion" votes from the Member States in both the Standing and Appeal Committees and the Commission adopted the pending decisions. The authorisations are valid for 10 years, and any products produced from these GMOs will be subject to the EU’s strict labelling and traceability rules.
