EU gives quick approval to GM maize crop

摘要

The European Commission has taken a rapid decision to approve a genetically modified (GM) maize crop for import, after agriculture ministers were split on the issue at last month's farm council.rnSyngenta's MIR604 variety will now benefit from a ten-year authorisation. The biotech product is one of several previously unauthorised maize varieties which have been traced in soya shipments to the EU.
