Fast-track process to amend law banning GM biofuels on Cyprus
THE COMMERCE Ministry is pushing the House of Representatives to amend a 2005 law banning the sale of biofuels made from genetically-modified (GM) plants, in order to avoid being fined millions of euros by the EU for non-compliance with one of its directives. The European Commission (EC) asked the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on 28 May this year for a ruling that, by enacting a law containing the specific banning clause without previously notifying the EC, Cyprus is in breach of its obligations under EU Directive 98/34/EC.
