Reuters | The European Union has authorised imports of a genetically modified (GM) cotton type for sale across its 27 national markets for the next 10 years, an official at the European Commission said on Wednesday.
The cotton, known as LLCotton25, is marketed by Bayer CropScience and will be imported into EU markets for use in food and animal feed. It will be grown outside the EU.
EU law allows for rubberstamp GMO authorisations when ministers cannot agree after a certain time. Since 2004, the Brussels-based European Commission has approved a string of GM products, nearly all maize, in this way, outraging green groups.
