Poland has become the eighth EU member state to ban the cultivation of
genetically modified (GM) crops. Seven other EU member states have
already imposed bans on the cultivation of GM crops approved by the
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as safe: Austria, France, Germany,
Hungary, Luxembourg, Greece and Bulgaria.
The Polish Agriculture Ministry expressed concerns that GM crops may cross-pollinate with non-GM crops and Monsanto’s MON810 maize pollen may find its way into honey. The ministry also pointed to that there exists no scientific assessments confirming that GM crops are safe for the environment and people.
