MEMO/04/17
State of play on GMO authorisations under EU law
Existing approvals
Under the rules on the deliberate release of GMOs
into the environment (Directive 2001/18/EC and previously
Directive 90/220/EC) so far 18 GMOs have been approved for
different uses, some for cultivation, some for import and
processing, some as feed, some as food (see annex 1). In terms
of crops species, these GMOs include maize, oil seed rape,
soybean and chicory.
Under the regulation on GM food and Feed which
cover novel food and novel feed ingredients, (Regulation (EC) No
1829/2003) products from 15 GMOs can legally be marketed in the
EU (see Annex 4).
These are:
· One
GM soy and one GM maize approved under Directive 90/220/EEC
prior to the entering into force of the Novel Food Regulation;
· Processed
foods derived from inter alia 7 GM oilseed rape, 4 GM maize and
oil from 2 GM cottonseeds. These products have all been notified
as substantially equivalent in accordance with the Novel Food
Regulation.
Approval of new GMO products for environmental
release and placing on the market
Twenty two applications for the placing on the
market of GMOs have been submitted into the authorisation
procedure under Directive 2001/18/EC (Annex 2), e.g. maize, oil
seed rape, sugar beet, soy beans, cotton, rice, fodder beet.
Eleven of these applications have a scope which is restricted to
import and processing, while the remaining ones also include
cultivation as a requested use.
The most advanced of the above 22 applications in
the procedure is the Monsanto NK603 GM maize, on which the
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has delivered a favourable
opinion. This application is for import and processing. It does
not include cultivation as a requested use. Directive 2001/18/EC
requires the Commission to adopt a Decision following
consultation of the Member States in a Regulatory Committee.
Taking account of the above the favourable opinion from EFSA and
the necessary administrative procedures, the Commission has
called a meeting of the Regulatory Committee for 18 February.
Two further applications (Monsanto GT73 oilseed
rape) and (hybrid maize MON 863 x 810) have been formally
submitted to the EFSA for evaluation and opinions are expected
soon. The scope of this application is also limited to import
and processing. The remaining applications are currently being
appraised by national authorities.
Approval of new GMO products as food
Article 46(1) of the Regulation 1829/2003 on GM
Food and Feed provides that applications for the authorisation
of a GM food made under the Novel Foods Regulation which have
received a final scientific assessment before the coming into
application of the new Regulation are still to be processed
under the Novel Foods Regulation. Authorisation for a GM food
will include labelling and traceability provisions as required
by the new law.
There are currently nine GM products pending
authorisation under the Novel Food Regulation (for details see
the list attached in Annex 3) e.g. maize, soybean and sugar
beet.
The scientific risk assessment has been completed
for three of the applications, a GM sweet maize from Syngenta
(Bt11), a GM field corn from Monsanto (GA21) and a GM maize from
Monsanto (NK603). An opinion with regard to the draft decision
to authorise BT11 under the conditions as specified was
submitted to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal
Health on December 8, 2003. As no qualified majority was reached
by the Committee, the Commission has decided today to submit the
proposal to the Council. The Council has three months to act and
to adopt or reject the proposed decision with qualified
majority. The Council could also decide not to act. In this case
it will be upon the Commission to take a decision.
The Commission has referred two other maize lines
from Monsanto (MON 863 and MON 810 X MON863) to EFSA for advice.
In both cases, the Commission has to await the advice from the
EFSA before proceeding with these applications.
The four remaining applications are currently in
the first stage of the authorisation process and are still
undergoing risk assessment by a competent authority in a Member
State.
National safeguard measures on GMOs
Under
environmental legislation
Directive 90/220/EEC under its Article 16 (known
as the safeguard clause) provided that where a Member State has
justifiable reasons to consider that a GMO, which has received
written consent for placing on the market, constitutes a risk to
human health or the environment, it may provisionally restrict
or prohibit the use and/or sale of that product on its
territory.
Article 16 has been invoked by Member States on
nine separate occasions, three times by Austria, twice by
France, and once each by Germany, Luxembourg, Greece and the
United Kingdom (Annex 5). The scientific evidence provided by
these Member States as justification for their measures, was
submitted to the Scientific Committee(s) for opinion. In all of
these cases, the Committee deemed that there was no new evidence
which would justify overturning the original authorisation
decision. National measures notified under Article 16 of
Directive 90/220/EEC have now to be dealt with under the
safeguard clause provision of Directive 2001/18/EEC (Article
23). In view of the new regulatory framework, the Commission has
informed Member States that they should now withdraw their
measures under Directive 90/220/EEC and lift the prohibitions.
On GM foods
Only one Member State has invoked the safeguard
clause (Article 12) under the Novel Food Regulation. This took
place in August 2000, when Italy suspended the trade in and use
of products derived from four GM maize varieties (MON 810 from
Monsanto; T25 from Bayer Crop Science; Bt11 from Syngenta and
MON 809 from Pioneer) which had been notified under the
simplified procedure for products considered as "substantially
equivalent".
The Commission immediately sought an opinion from
the Scientific Committee for Food which concluded, in September
2000, that the information provided by the Italian Authorities
did not provide detailed scientific grounds for considering that
the use of the GM foods in question endangered human health.
Co-existence
The cultivation of GM crops will logically have
implications for the organisation of agricultural productions.
Pollen flow between adjacent fields is a natural phenomenon and
there will be some pollen flow from GM crops to conventional
crops and vice versa. Because of the labelling requirements for
GM food and feed, this may have economic
implications for farmers who want to produce non-labelled food
or feed products. Coexistence is about giving farmers the
practical choice between conventional, organic and GM crop
production in compliance with the legal obligations for
labelling and purity standards.
On 5 March 2003, the Commission agreed that it
should be up to the Member States to develop and implement
management measures concerning co-existence, in accordance with
the subsidiarity principle (see IP/03/314).
On 27 July 2003 the Commission has also adopted a
Commission recommendation (2003/556/EC) on co-existence setting
out guidelines for the development of national strategies and
best practices to ensure co-existence (see IP/03/1096).
