This resolution objects to the Commission's draft decision authorising genetically modified maize MON 95275. It calls on the Commission to withdraw the draft and not authorise the maize due to risks to biodiversity, food safety and workers' health.¶¶¶
Key points
- Considers that the draft Commission implementing decision exceeds the implementing powers provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.¶
- Considers that the draft decision is not consistent with Union law, as it is not compatible with the aim of ensuring a high level of protection of human life and health, animal health and welfare, and environmental and consumer interests.¶
- Calls on the Commission to withdraw its draft implementing decision and submit a new draft to the committee.¶
- Calls on the Commission to ensure convergence of standards between the Union and its partners in free trade agreement negotiations, to meet Union safety standards.¶
- Calls on the Commission not to authorise the GM crops due to risks to biodiversity, food safety and workers’ health in line with the One Health approach.¶
- Welcomes the Commission's recognition of the need to take sustainability into account in GMO authorisation decisions, but expresses disappointment that it has continued to authorise GMOs despite objections by Parliament and a majority of Member States.¶
- Urges the Commission to take into account the Union's obligations under international agreements and reiterates its call for draft implementing acts to be accompanied by an explanatory memorandum explaining how they uphold the principle of 'do no harm'.¶
