Genetically modified soybean GMB151 x DAS-44406-6

The text concerns a draft Commission decision to allow products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified soybean GMB151 x DAS-44406-6 onto the market under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. Parliament adopted the resolution as its official position, objecting to that draft authorisation. Parliament points to scientific uncertainties, gaps in the risk assessment and the lack of a qualified majority among member states, and has repeatedly said the Commission should not authorise such products in those circumstances.

The European Parliament adopted its position on a proposed regulation to phase out Russian natural gas imports and improve monitoring of potential energy dependencies. The regulation would also amend Regulation (EU) 2017/1938 on security of gas supply, and the Parliament's position includes amendments to the Commission's proposal. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and instructs its President to forward the position to the Council and national parliaments.
