French speed up GMO authorisation
(November 14, 2008) The EU Council of Agricultural Ministers is due to vote on the authorisation of RoundupReady2 soybeans at their next session on 18 November. France, which currently holds the Presidency of the EU Council, added the authorisation of the GM soybeans to the agenda.
Following voting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health mid-September, the EU Member States were given three months time to concern themselves with the GM soybeans. They are not going to take the full 90 days, which allows the Commission the chance to give the green light still this year for the importation of RoundupReady2 soybeans.
