Legal Affairs MEPs seek to boost EU member state power over approvals

摘要

European Commission proposals to approve genetically modified crops or pesticides should only be granted if they are supported by a positive vote from EU member states,says the European Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee.The call comes in its report on the Commission's proposals to reform the EU's decision-making process,or"comitology".The industry has already warned that such a step could result in GMO approvals being blocked.
