Hungary cannot prohibit the distribution of GMO products
Change language:
On Wednesday, the European Parliament’s plenary session overwhelmingly rejected the proposal, under which member states could have prohibited the distribution and the use of GMO plants in their own territories, origo.hu wrote.
According to the chariman of the EP Environmental Committee, the proposal is incompatible with the common market and it is not feasible. He said, while the production is linked to the land, the marketing ban can hardly be enforced, since the goods can be transported anywhere without difficulty because there are no borders. Giovanni La Via also stated that the EU agriculture was heavily relying on proteins derived from GM sources.
There was no impact study
According to the chairman of the Environment Committee, the European Commission, which presented the proposal, has not conducted any impact studies, has not assessed the expected consequences. The Commission submitted the proposal in April, after the rule came into force which enables the member states to decide separately – in the case of public cultivation – whether they allow the public cultivation of GM plants already approved at EU level.
Another reason to leave the E.U. Corrupt bastards from the top down.
Simple, force all agriculture and agricultural products to be clearly labeled or identified the end consumer, so that he is aware enough to stay away from it if he so chooses. End of the problem. Also sue the companies big time if they fail to identify. Done deal!
