EU Rules Change Would Allow Traces Of Banned Biotech Crops in Animal Feed

摘要

A committee of agricultural experts representing member states of the European Union approved new rules Feb. 22 that would allow low levels of some illegal genetically modified crops in animal feed. The change would affect imports arriving from countries such as the United States where the specific bio-tech crop is legal. To become final, it must be formally approved by the European Council of Ministers and the European Parliament.
