EU GMO approval system: Discussion with Irish Grain and Feed Association

Ireland is more reliant on imports of compound feed ingredients than any other country in the EU.

As a result, any shortcomings in the EU system of approving GM varieties has a much greater impact on the Irish feed industry than on that of other EU Member States.
