In addition to the long expected showdown on the approval of the first GMO approval within the EU since 1998, the Council of Environmental Ministers meeting on Monday 26th will also discuss GMO contamination of Seeds. The Danish delegation wrote: "In order to secure the basis for the new regulations, it is also important to establish clear rules for GMOs in seed. Studies carried out in Denmark on co-existence between genetically modified, conventional and organic crops have shown that the contents of GMOs in seed has considerable influence on the possibility of ensuring co-existence.Therefore the Danish delegation calls upon the Commission to put forward as soon as possible a new proposal with respect to labelling and the contents of GMOs in seed. In order to secure the best possible conditions for co-existence, Denmark finds that thresholds in any forthcoming proposal should be set at detection level (0.1%)."
