Parliament objects to the Commission's renewal of authorisation for genetically modified maize MON 810, considering it exceeds implementing powers and is inconsistent with EU 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

  1. Considers that Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/1828 exceeds the implementing powers provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
  2. Finds the decision incompatible with the aim of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 to ensure a high level of protection of human life and health, animal health and welfare, and environmental and consumer interests.
  3. Calls on the Commission to repeal Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/1828.
  4. Welcomes the Commission's recognition of sustainability in GMO authorisation but expresses disappointment at continued authorisations despite objections.
  5. Urges the Commission to take into account the Union's obligations under international agreements and to accompany draft implementing acts with an explanatory memorandum on the 'do no harm' principle.

Who is affected

  • The Commission, which is called on to repeal the decision and change its approach to GMO authorisations.
  • Bayer Agriculture BV and Bayer CropScience LP, the applicants for renewal, whose authorisation is contested.

Legal basis: Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, in particular Article 11(3) and Article 23(3)
