DENMARK: GENE-MODIFIED BEET TO BE APPROVED?
Article Abstract:
The gene-modified beet for animal feeds, developed by Danisco, DLF-Trifolium and Monsanto, will possibly be approved by the EU in the spring of 2000, the paper writes. Last Friday, an EU committee postponed its decision, but even if the committee votes against it, a decision will be taken by the Council of Ministers. As the European Commission wishes to approve the beet, all 15 countries have to vote against it to put a ban, and this is not likely to happen as 8-10 countries are positive towards gene-technology in general, the paper concludes.
