EU Court of Justice dismisses activist lawsuit challenging Monsanto GMO soy approval

The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg ruled on [September 12] that the authorization of genetically modified soy produced by former agrochemical corporation Monsanto was legal. An appeal is not possible.

The ruling follows appeals made by three German non-governmental organizations to a decision made by the EU Commission in 2012. The Commission said the genetically modified soybean has the same effect on human and animal health as non-genetically modified soy products.
