EU: Commission authorises import of 1507 maize for use in animal feed

The European Commission has authorised the placing on the market of the genetically modified maize 1507. The authorisation covers the import and processing of this GMO, including its use in animal feed. The maize has been modified to make it resistant to certain pests and for tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium. This decision is valid for 10 years and results from an application submitted by the company Pioneer/Mycogen Seeds. An authorisation for use as food is still under examination.
