Repeal of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on the market of feed containing, consisting of and of food and feed products produced from genetically modified maize MON 810, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council

This resolution expresses the European Parliament's objection to the European Commission's decision to renew the authorisation for placing genetically modified maize MON 810 on the market for food and feed.

The decision affects consumers, farmers, and the environment by potentially allowing the continued use of maize MON 810, which is modified to produce insecticides (Bt toxins).

The Parliament argues the decision exceeds the Commission's powers and is inconsistent with the aim of ensuring a high level of protection for human health, animal health, and the environment.

The resolution calls for the repeal of the Commission's implementing decision, citing concerns about potential adverse effects of Bt toxins on human health and non-target organisms, and the lack of support from Member States.
