Cultivating a debate on GM crops in Poland
Independent farmers and agricultural firms are opposing a curb on genetically modified crops. A new bill restricting the application of bio-technology to increase crop output and resilience was approved by the Sejm in February and is now awaiting finalization. The bill comes in the wake of an EU court’s decision that a Polish ban on genetically modified (GM) crops, introduced in the summer of 2006, cannot override EU laws permitting the cultivation and trade of GM crops.
