The European Commission on 3 November 2005 authorised the placing on the market of the genetically modified maize 1507. The authorisation was to cover the import and processing of this GMO, including its use in animal feed. The maize had been modified to make it resistant to certain pests and for tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium. This decision was to be valid for 10 years and resulted from an application submitted by the company Pioneer/Mycogen Seeds. An authorisation for use as food was still under examination. |
