欧盟议会的议员们在10月28日周三举行的全会上，以577票赞成、75票反对的成果驳回了一份欧盟法律草案，该草案将允许个体成员国限制或者禁止在食物或者饲料中使用转基因产品，即使整个欧盟已经通过该转基因产品。 欧盟议会中管理档案的议员Giovanni La Via在一份 新闻稿 中表示，“今天的投票给欧盟委员会发出了一个清晰的信号。这个方案会使我们在单一市场和单一海关联盟中取得的成果上开倒车。” La Via议员说，议员们还对该提案缺乏影响力评估报告部分表示担忧，“我认为，这个方案对欧盟的农业会有消极影响，欧盟的农业是严重依赖转基因资源中的蛋白供应的。它还将对进口产生间接的消极影响。归根结底，...

欧盟委员会上周公布了一项计划，修改现有的关于转基因生物立法，给与各成员国更大的自由度限制或者禁止在国家层面在食品和动物饲料中使用转基因生物。 根据欧盟委员会所计划的修改，成员国将能够在其食品链中“退出”（opt out）使用欧盟所批准的转基因生物，即使这些转基因生物被认为是足够安全进入欧盟单一市场的产品。现存的标签规则将不在此次计划中被触及。 但是，有意愿如此做的国家必须证明，他们的措施与欧盟的法律和WTO的义务相符。任何退出行为都将必须基于欧盟层面评估之外的合法原因，也就是说，对人类或者动物健康以及环境产生的风险。 欧盟委员会称，新的生物科技计划反映并补充了一份上月生效的欧盟立法，...
