Key points
- Considers that the draft Commission implementing decision exceeds implementing powers under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.¶
- Finds the draft decision incompatible with Union law, as it conflicts with the aim of ensuring high protection of human, animal, and environmental health, and the precautionary principle.¶
- Calls on the Commission to withdraw its draft implementing decision.¶
- Calls on the Commission not to renew authorisation due to concerns about gene flow, environmental persistence, herbicide use, and insufficient long-term evidence, in line with the One Health approach.¶
- Calls on the Commission to submit a legislative proposal to reform the GMO decision-making procedure, responding to Parliament's objections and lack of qualified majority among Member States.¶
- Urges the Commission to consider EU obligations under international agreements like the Paris Climate Agreement, the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.¶
