Key points

The maize is resistant to glufosinate, a herbicide classified as toxic to reproduction whose EU approval expired in 2018.
There are concerns that the authorization does not align with the primary goal of ensuring a high level of protection for human and animal health.
The decision-making process is contested because no qualified majority was reached in the Standing Committee or the Appeal Committee.
The current assessment fails to adequately consider how agricultural practices and herbicide use influence the environmental outcomes of the crop.
