Key points

The European Parliament objects to the market authorization of genetically modified soybean DBN-09004-6 for food and feed.
There are significant concerns regarding the 'herbicide treadmill' effect, where herbicide-tolerant crops lead to increased pesticide use.
The Parliament highlights a lack of long-term studies on the cumulative effects of these crops on biodiversity and soil health.
The decision may place EU farmers at a competitive disadvantage by allowing imports that do not meet the same strict pesticide standards.
