Regulation on the market of products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 88017 x 59122 and eight sub-combinations, 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 genetically modified maize MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 88017 × 59122 and its sub-combinations. The Parliament believes the decision exceeds the Commission's powers and is inconsistent with EU law.

The affected parties include farmers, consumers, and the environment. The resolution raises concerns about the increased use of herbicides associated with herbicide-tolerant GM crops, potential negative impacts on biodiversity, soil and water quality, and increased exposure to herbicide residues.

The Parliament highlights that the renewed authorisation is inconsistent with the EU's international commitments, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Kunming-Montreal Framework, which aim to reduce pesticide risks. It also points to concerns regarding the safety assessment of Bt toxins and their potential interaction with herbicide residues.

The resolution calls on the Commission to repeal the decision and submit a new draft, and to ensure that hazardous chemicals banned in the EU are not produced for export. It also urges the Commission to consider the EU's international obligations and the 'do no harm' principle in future authorisation decisions.
