Syngenta says Brazil officials drop GMO enquiry
Swiss agrochemicals group Syngenta said on Thursday Brazilian officials had dropped an investigation into allegations the company had been growing genetically modified organisms too close to the border of a national park without permission. Syngenta, which has been ordered by the governor of the state of Parana to leave the land in question, said a federal prosecutor dismissed a civil investigation after finding that Syngenta had been authorised by the National Technical Commission for Biosecurity (CTNBio) to plant the crops. Syngenta said the federal prosecutor had also said CTNBio was the appropriate official body to grant permission.
