Paris asked the EU to ban GM maize if verified as toxic

During a conference in Dijon (east), the head of the French government said it has requested an "expedited procedure" verification study that could last "several weeks" and added that, if the results are inconclusive, Paris asked prohibition "at European level".
The scientific study conducted the experiment for two years with a sample of 200 laboratory rats.
Some of the mice were fed with water and corn NK603, a transgenic variety of the group treated with Monsanto herbicide doses permitted in the United States, while the reference sample received conventional maize.
After the experiment, the scientists decided that the rats fed the GM maize had a higher mortality rate and major developed tumors.
Moreover, the experiment yields that the greater is the concentration of the transgenic maize in the diet of rodents, the higher its mortality rate.
The study duration of two years, is much higher than the three months it took for reference Monsanto to present their findings when requested authorization to market the product.
In that regard, Dr. Jöel Spiroux, French study coauthor, said the newspaper "Libération" which was from the fourth month when they found high rates of mortality and occurrence of tumors in laboratory rats.
The corn used in the experiment, NK-603, can not occur in Europe, although it is allowed to be imported for food and feed since 2004.
After hearing the findings of researchers Gauls, the French Minister for European Affairs, Bernard Cazeneuve, asked the EU to apply the precautionary principle.
"You have to apply the precautionary principle as absolute," he said in an interview Cazeneuve television network "iTELE", in which he noted that this issue deserves concerned at European level.
Justified his call for "Europe must be a space that can not be anything that harms health", in line with the statements of the French proprietor of Agriculture, Stéphane Le Foll, who has announced he will ask European rules "much stricter "for authorization of GMOs.
For its part, the French environmentalist José Bové MEP took to ask the European Commission to suspend the authorizations granted to crops genetically modified organisms (GMOs), specifically MON810 maize and potato Amflora.
