Dec. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The European Union approved three genetically modified corn varieties from Syngenta AG and a biotech cotton variety from Dow Chemical Co. for food and feed use, import and processing.
The crops were approved by the European Commission, the EU’s regulatory arm, after member states failed to provide a qualified majority either in favor or against the approvals, the commission said in a statement on its website today.
The authorizations are valid for 10 years and will be subject to the EU’s labelling and traceability rules, the commission said. The approvals don’t allow for cultivation of the crops in the 27-nation bloc.
The approved Syngenta corns are MIR604 x GA21, Bt11 x MIR604 and Bt11 x MIR604 x GA21, all of which combine insect- resistance traits with herbicide tolerance. The Dow cotton variety authorized by the commission is 281-24-236 x 3006-210-23, which has insect resistance built in.
