In the name of health and environmental protection, the European Parliament opposed, on Thursday 11 May, the renewal of the authorisation in the EU of imported glufosinate-tolerant genetically modified cotton. Under review was Dow AgroSciences LLC cotton 281-24-236 × 3006-210-2 (see EUROPE B13172A38).
The objection to the European Commission’s draft implementing decision was adopted by 394 votes to 169 with 17 abstentions. It concerns both GMOs and products containing them.
