欧盟食品安全局：意大利转基因玉米禁令没有科学依据

    食品伙伴网讯  据欧盟食品安全局消息，近日意大利向欧盟委员会提交了对转基因玉米实施禁令的文件，欧委会要求欧盟食品安全局对此进行审查。

    经过审查，欧盟食品安全局认为，没有科学证据证实转基因玉米对人类和动物健康，或者对环境构成风险。

    部分原文报道如下：

    There is 'no specific scientific evidence' to support an Italian ban on the genetically modified maize MON810, according to the European Food Safety Authority （EFSA）。

    The EFSA scientific opinion comes after assessment of evidence submitted to the European Commission by Italian authorities to support the country's ban on biotech giant Monsanto's genetically modified maize MON810.

    However, the EFSA Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms （EFSA GMO Panel） has now concluded that all of the concerns raised by Italian authorities have been addressed in previous scientific opinions - adding that there is no evidence to support an Italian ban based on the 'emergency measure' measure under Article 34 of Regulation （EC） No 1829/2003, nor is there evidence that would invalidate previous risk assessments of MON810 conducted by EFSA.
