EU Commission Approves GMO Rapeseed
The EU Commission has voted to approve the import of of a hitherto banned variety of genetically modified oilseed rapeseed, known as T45, developed by Bayer AG.
The decision opens the door for EU rapeseed imports from Canada where the variety is grown, and comes after months of stalemate between various EU government departments.
Now approved, the authorisation will last for ten years, T45 can now be used in food and animal feed products, but not grown commercially in the EU.
