Serbia to allow import of GMOs under strict control

Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management Dragan Glamocic said in Brussels on Tuesday that Serbia will change the law that bans imports of products containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs), but stressed that the trade in these products will be under strict control.

“The existing law on GMOs is not safe for consumers and will have to be changed,” Glamocic told reporters after a meeting with European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Policy Tonio Borg and Director General for Agriculture and Rural Development Jerzy Plewa.

The minister explained that this does not mean that Serbia will permit the cultivation of GMO crops, which has so far been banned, but that the trade in GMO products will be harmonized with the EU Acquis.
