EU governments agree on new transgenic crop import and labeling rules (Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2002 -- CropChoice news) -- Reuters: European Union environment ministers on Monday agreed to the latest set of new controls on genetically modified organisms
that could eventually lead the bloc to reopen its markets to GM foods.
Danish Environment Minister Hans Christian Schmidt said at
the end of a meeting of EU ministers in Brussels that he chaired that, "We
have got a majority in favour of a solution."
The new rules require ships carrying bulk grain to declare whether the
shipments contain GM products. The regulation now requires the agreement of
the European Parliament. | |
