Parliament objects to the Commission's draft decision authorising genetically modified maize MON 95275, considering it exceeds implementing powers and is inconsistent with EU law. It calls on the Commission to withdraw the draft and submit a new one, and not to authorise GM crops due to risks to biodiversity, food safety and workers' health. It also urges alignment of standards in trade negotiations and respect for international agreements.

Key points

  1. Considers that the draft Commission implementing decision exceeds the implementing powers provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
  2. 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.
  3. Calls on the Commission to withdraw its draft implementing decision and to submit a new draft to the committee.
  4. Calls on the Commission to ensure convergence of standards between the Union and its partners in free trade agreement negotiations, in order to meet Union safety standards.
  5. 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.
  6. Welcomes the Commission's recognition of the need to take sustainability into account, but expresses deep disappointment that it has continued to authorise GMOs despite objections.
  7. Urges the Commission to take into account the Union's obligations under international agreements and to accompany draft implementing acts with an explanatory memorandum explaining how they uphold the 'do no harm' principle.

Who is affected

  • The Commission, which is called on to withdraw its draft decision and not authorise the GM maize.
