PROPOSTA DI RISOLUZIONE sul progetto di decisione di esecuzione della Commissione che autorizza l'immissione in commercio di alimenti, ingredienti alimentari e mangimi prodotti a partire dalla barbabietola da zucchero geneticamente modificata KWS20-1, a norma del regolamento (CE) n. 1829/2003 del Parlamento europeo e del Consiglio

Di cosa si tratta?

• The resolution addresses the proposed authorization of genetically modified sugar beet variety KWS20-1 for food and feed, which is resistant to herbicides like glyphosate, dicamba, and glufosinate.
• Concerns are raised about the lack of long-term studies on toxicological effects and cumulative impacts of pesticide residues.
• The increased use of complementary herbicides may accelerate resistance in weeds, harming soil health and biodiversity.
• The authorization conflicts with EU sustainability commitments and the precautionary principle.
• The Parliament urges the Commission to withdraw the proposal due to insufficient evidence of safety.
