Regulation on the market of products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize MON 89034 × 1507 × NK603, 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 renewal of authorisation for genetically modified maize MON 89034 × 1507 × NK603. The Parliament believes the Commission's decision to renew the authorisation exceeds its powers and is inconsistent with EU law.

The decision affects companies seeking to place products containing or produced from this specific genetically modified maize on the EU market. It also impacts farmers who might use this maize, potentially influencing their weed management practices and reliance on herbicides.

The Parliament highlights concerns regarding the increased use of herbicides associated with herbicide-tolerant GM crops, potential negative impacts on biodiversity, soil and water quality, and human health. It also raises questions about the assessment of Bt toxins and their interaction with herbicide residues.

The resolution calls on the Commission to repeal the renewal decision and submit a new draft, urging it not to authorise herbicide-tolerant GM crops due to associated risks. It also calls for alignment of EU standards with international commitments on sustainability and biodiversity.
