EU fails to approve Bayer's LibertyLink GE rapeseed and GE carnation imports
EU ministers failed to reach a majority on Monday to approve applications for importing a genetically modified rapeseed and carnation flower, paving the way for a default approval by the EU executive, officials said. The rapeseed, developed by Germany’s Bayer CropScience to resist certain glufosinate-ammonium herbicides and known by its codename T25, was discontinued from commercial planting after the 2005 season. Only a small stock of the rapeseed remains, in Canada, and could be exported to EU markets if approval is granted.
