Dimas pushes for GMO ban

摘要

EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas is to insist on an EU-wide ban of two types of genetically modified (GM) maize, a Commission spokesperson confirmed this week. The maize types - "Bt 11" made by biotech group Syngenta and "1507" jointly developed by Dow Chemicals and Pioneer - could be harmful to butterflies, bees and birds, the spokesperson said.
