The European Commission told Serbia that there is a need to amend the law on genetically modified organisms (GMO) in order to join the WTO, according to “Kurir”.
”Law on GMO should urgently comply with the EU regulations”, says the annual report of the European Commission, which was, within the enlargement package, presented in Brussels.
In Serbia, there is a ban on cultivation and sale of GMO, including genetically modified soybeans, corn and a variety of other food items. A similar ban until a few years ago existed in the EU, but was abolished after a complicated dispute with major exporters of GMO, U.S. and Canada, which are accused of violating EU rules on free trade, ”Kurir” reports.
