EU Commissioner Dimas: No action on GM seed thresholds?

The Commission might not introduce any legislation on GM seed thresholds, Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas suggested. Responding to questioning from Environment Committee MEPs he said the Commission had not yet decided whether to legislate on GM seed thresholds and that action was not necessarily required. A Commission spokesperson confirmed that a number of different possibilities were being examined on the basis of their feasability and potential benefit, and that the option of not proposing legislation on thresholds had not been ruled out.
