EU investigates banned GM maize import
08/04/2005
Imports of BT10, a form of genetically modified (GM) maize made by Swiss biotechnology company Syngenta, have been found in some European countries despite the fact that BT10 is unauthorised within the EU.
The European Commission is now requesting in-depth information from Syngenta and the US authorities on how up to ten kilos of BT10 seeds may have been exported inadvertently as BT11 for research purposes to France and Spain.
