Genetically modified maize DP910521

The European Parliament objected to the Commission's draft decision authorising the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize DP910521. The objection was adopted, meaning the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be authorised for sale in the EU. The resolution cites concerns about the herbicide glufosinate, the Cry1B.34 toxin, and inadequate risk assessment.
