Greenpeace today accused the European Commission of exposing EU Member States to the irreversible risks of genetically engineered crops and of undermining safety regulations within the EU.While the Commission claims that Monsanto`s GE maize (MON810) has been monitored for environmental risks and that it meets the requirements under current EU legislation, Greenpeace investigations show that no comprehensive monitoring plan exists. Greenpeace calls for the EU Member States to take initiatives to stop the commercialisation of Monsanto`s GE maize.</p><p><a href="http://www.commondreams.org/news2005/0215-01.htm">Greenpeace via Common dreams</a></p><p><a href="http://www.greenpeace.org/international_en/reports/?campaign%5fid=3942">Greenpeace background information on Mon 810 monitoring plan</a>
