欧盟就转基因玉米59122面向市场发布意见

      据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，3月26日欧盟食品安全局转基因专家组就转基因玉米59122面向市场，用于种植、食品饲料加工以及进口发布了意见。

    经评估，转基因专家组认为，转基因玉米59122同普通玉米一样安全，不会对动物以及人体健康构成威胁，如果管理得当，那么也不会对环境构成威胁。

    Following the submission of an application （Reference EFSA-GMO-NL-2005-23） under Regulation （EC） No 1829/2003 from Pioneer Hi-Bred International and Dow AgroSciences LLC （referred to hereafter as the applicant）， the Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms of the European Food Safety Authority （EFSA GMO Panel） was asked to deliver a Scientific Opinion on the safety of the genetically modified （GM） insect-resistant and herbicide-tolerant maize 59122 （Unique Identifier DAS-59122-7） for food and feed uses, import and processing, and cultivation. As the scope of this application also covers the food and feed uses, and import and processing of maize 59122, this Scientific Opinion updates the previous EFSA GMO Panel safety evaluation of the food and feed uses, and import and processing of maize 59122 and derived products.

    In delivering its Scientific Opinion, the EFSA GMO Panel considered the application EFSA-GMO-NL-2005-23, additional information supplied by the applicant, scientific comments submitted by Member States, the environmental risk assessment report of the Competent Authority of the Netherlands （NL CA）， and relevant scientific publications.
