The Irish authorities on 25 May 2005 informed the European Commission through the Rapid Alert System that a shipment with a consignment of corn-gluten feed contaminated with the unauthorised GMO maize Bt10 had arrived in Ireland the day before. The Irish authorities were taking the necessary measures to ensure that this consignment did not enter the feed chain. This was the first case of a contaminated consignment arriving in the EU since the adoption of EU measures to prevent the import of products containing the maize Bt10 (see IP/05/437). |
