European Commission Authorizes Six GM Crops for Food and Feed

The European Commission, on December 22, 2017, has authorized six
genetically mosified organisms (GMOs), all for food/feed uses. These are:

. Soybean 305423X40-3-2,

. Soybean DAS-44406-6,

. Soybean FG72xA5547-127,

. Soybean DAS-68416-4,

. Oilseed rape Mon88302XMs8XRf3 and

. Maize 1507 (renewal)

The GMOs that were approved have all gone through a comprehensive
authorization procedure, including a favorable scientific assessment by the
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

The authorization decisions do not cover cultivation. These GMOs had
received "no opinion" votes from the Member States both in the Standing and
the Appeal Committees and the Commission therefore had to adopt the pending
decisions. The authorizations are valid for 10 years, and any products
produced from these GMOs will be subject to the EU's strict labeling and
traceability rules.
