Key points

The European Parliament opposes the authorization of genetically modified maize GA21 × T25 for food and feed uses.
There is significant concern that herbicide-tolerant crops lead to an increased use of chemical weed killers and the emergence of resistant weeds.
The widespread use of these crops may negatively impact soil health, water quality, and both above-ground and below-ground biodiversity.
The maize is designed to be tolerant to glufosinate, a substance that is toxic to reproduction and whose approval in the Union expired.
