The European Commission on 18 April 2005 published a list of 26 genetically modified (GM) products which had been legally on the EU market since before the new legislative framework for authorising GM food and feed had entered into effect. These so-called 'existing products' were either approved under former EU legislation, or did not require approval at the time that they were put on the market. They were added to a specific section of the Community register of genetically modified (GM) food and feed in order to clarify exactly which GM products were legally permitted to be sold in the EU and to have full information on these products. |
