On November 11, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety will vote on the draft recommendation for second reading on the possibility for member states to restrict or prohibit the cultivation of GMOs in their territory (2010/0208 (COD)).
Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth Europe, Corporate Europe Observatory, the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements and Slow Food have urged the Committee to adopt solid legal rights in the case and to not follow the position adopted by the Council in June this year, which creates a system for the prohibition of GM cultivation at national level that is legally flawed, cumbersome and limited in time, while giving biotech companies an official role in the decisionmaking process, further limiting countries’ right to prohibit the cultivation of GM crops in their territory.
