The European Commission has requested Belgium and Spain to comply with 2003 rulings of the European Court of Justice concerning their failure to adopt and notify national legislation implementing an EU law on the contained use of genetically modified micro-organisms (GMMs). The EU law aims to ensure that the use of GMMs in laboratories and other contained conditions is as environmentally safe and secure as possible. The required national legislation should have been put in place by 5 June 2000 |
