Brazil delays vote on gene-altered corn seeds until next month
Brazil’s biotechnology council postponed its decision on Bayer AG’s gene-modified corn seeds until next month. The council finished voting on issues related to research during meetings yesterday and today, and delayed its vote on commercial seeds until May 16-17, spokeswoman Rachel Mortari said. The council had a backlog of issues to consider because last month’s meeting was canceled after Greenpeace International protesters stormed the closed-door session.
