Updated 8 July
On 6 July, the full Parliament backed the GMO challenges by large majorities.
__________________________________________________________________________________
On Monday 21 June, the Environment Committee debated five challenges – four on authorisation for GMOs (that passed) and one on animal feed (that did not pass).
You can find the results and a video of the final challenge below.
There were no surprises on the GMO challenges. The voting lines are consistent with similar votes. Political support for this technology is limited in the EP. The full Parliament will likely back this vote in a few weeks.
You’ll note that in COVID times, the voting results are usually published the day after.
