フランス、ドイツ、オーストリア、ギリシャ、ルクセンブルグでのGMトウモロコシと菜種の禁止の継続がEU加盟政府の投票の結果決まった。他のEU国では遺伝子組み替えが認められているが、5ヶ国は1997年から輸入が国内の農家を脅かすと言う理由のセーフガードを遺伝子組み替えの排除の口実としている。
（# この記事の出た時はEUで農業分野の話し合いが持たれ、自国の農家への補助が他の加盟国の農業を脅かす、との議論がされていた。しかしそれらの援助が輸出に回り他国の農業経済を破壊していることが最も顕著に現れている例がアフリカ地域である）

EU governments keep national bans on GMOs
Fri Jun 24, 2:40 PM ET
LUXEMBOURG (AFP) - EU governments voted to keep in place bans on some genetically modified crops, slapping down a proposal from the EU's executive commission to lift them.
EU environment ministers meeting here voted down proposals from the European Commission to lift national bans on genetically modified maize and oilseed rape in Austria, France, Germany, Greece and Luxembourg.
"We gave a sharp and clear message on the commission's proposal," said Luxembourg environment minister Lucien Lux, whose country holds the EU's rotating presidency until the end of the month.
Between 1997 and 2000, the five countries invoked so-called "national safeguard measures" to block the genetically modified products from coming on the market although they were permitted in the EU
"The commission has a legal obligation to make sure that the existing regulatory framework governing the release of GMOs is correctly applied by member states," said EU environment commissioner Stavros Dimas.
"What is certain is that today's vote sends a political signal that member states may want to revisit some aspects of the existing system," he added.
Brussels will have to come up fast with new legislation allowing for the bans to be kept because the EU faces the threat of Argentina, Canada and the United States making complaints before the World Trade Organisation.
Environmental pressure groups hailed the blow to the commission.
"Decisions on GMOs are a blatant example of the EUs democratic deficit. The commission must learn from today's lesson and stop hiding behind technocratic procedures and confidential expertise to force GMOs into our fields and supermarkets," Greenpeace advisor on GMOs Eric Gall said in a statement.
