Parliament objects to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/1828 renewing authorisation for genetically modified maize MON 810, considering it exceeds implementing powers and is inconsistent with Union law.¶¶ It calls on the Commission to repeal the decision and urges it to respect international obligations and the 'do no harm' principle.¶¶
Key points
- Considers that the decision exceeds the implementing powers of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.¶
- Finds the decision incompatible with Union law, as it fails to ensure a high level of protection of human life, animal health, and the environment.¶
- Calls on the Commission to repeal Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/1828.¶
- Welcomes the Commission's 2020 recognition of sustainability, but expresses disappointment that it continues to authorise GMOs despite objections.¶
- Urges the Commission to take into account international agreements such as the Paris Climate Agreement, the UN CBD and UN SDGs, and to explain how draft acts uphold 'do no harm'.¶
