New Commissioner takes neutral line on GMOs

摘要

Commissioner-designate for Health and Consumer Policy John Dalli has offered a non-committal response to members of the European Parliament over his views on contentious issues such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and animal cloning.rnBut he has signalled that he supports European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso's idea of allowing member states to decide at national level on policies surrounding cultivation of GM crops.
