PROPOSTA DI RISOLUZIONE sul progetto di decisione di esecuzione della Commissione che rinnova l'autorizzazione all'immissione in commercio di prodotti contenenti, costituiti o derivati da cotone geneticamente modificato T304-40 a norma del regolamento (CE) n. 1829/2003 del Parlamento europeo e del Consiglio

Di cosa si tratta?

• The renewal of authorization for genetically modified cotton T304-40, resistant to pests and the herbicide glufosinate, is under scrutiny.
• Concerns focus on insufficient long-term assessments of ecological and health risks, including pesticide residues.
• Increased herbicide use and resistant weeds are seen as threats to biodiversity and sustainable farming.
• The Parliament demands the withdrawal of the Commission’s proposal and reforms to the GMO approval process.
• The aim is to uphold the precautionary principle and ensure fair competition for EU farmers.
