The six new Commissioners for agriculture, environment, trade, research, industry and food safety will present a draft document on Tuesday 22nd regarding how to proceed with pending GMO approvals, seed purity, coexistence and national bans of EU approved GMOs.</p><p><a href="http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L1873909.htm">Reuters: EU to push for GMO foods despite opposition</a></p><p><a href="http://saveourseeds.org/downloads/COM_draft_GMO_23_03_05.pdf">Internal Communication of the Commissioners</a></p><p><a href="http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/news/news-ng.asp?n=58888-european-commission-takes">Foodproduction daily: European Commission takes stock of GM food ingredients</a>
