Dvanaest ministara EU-a traže zabranu za GMO kukuruza Ministri iz 12 zemalja članica Europske unije pisali su europskom povjereniku za zdravstvo Toniu Borgu kako bi zatražili da ne odobri uzgoj soja genetski modificiranog kukuruza Genetski modificirani usjevi, koji se uzgajaju u Americi i Aziji, nepopularni su u Europi gdje im se javnost snažno protivi, a aktivisti za zaštitu okoliša upozoravaju na njihov utjecaj na biorazličitost. Na ovotjednom sastanku Vijeća za opće poslove u Bruxellesu vođena je vruća rasprava o odobravanju uzgoja GMO kukuruza otpornog na kukce Pioneer 1507 kojega su razvili zajednički DuPont i Dow chemical. Protiv toga je 19 zemalja članica, među kojima je i Hrvatska. Na samom sastanku nije bilo formalnog glasovanja, ali se 19 zemalja izjasnilo da bi bilo protiv ako se glasuje. Međutim, tih 19 zemalja nemaju kvalificiranu većinu da odbace prijedlog. U slučaju da je došlo do formalnog glasovanja, prema pravilima tzv. komitologije, Europska komisija morala bi odluku o odobravanju te vrste GMO-a donijeti u roku od 24 sata. Ovako, bez formalnog glasovanja, Komisija može povući, promijeniti ili potvrditi svoj prijedlog te ne mora donijeti odluku u roku od 24 sata. Ipak, prema riječima Borga, Komisija bi mogla donijeti odluku o odobravanju ali nije rekao do kada bi trebala učiniti. Devetnaest članica istaknulo je u raspravi da bi glasovalo protiv: Hrvatska, Francuska, Italija, Slovenija, Mađarska, Grčka, Rumunjska, Poljska, Austrija, Bugarska, Danska, Latvija, Litva, Luksemburg, Irska, Slovačka, Cipar, Malta i Nizozemska. Ali zbroj njihov glasova nije bio dovoljan za odbacivanje prijedloga nakon što su tri velike članice, koje imaju velik broj glasova, rekle da se neće pridružiti tom taboru. Velika Britanija i Španjolska su rekle da su za prijedlog, dok je Njemačka odlučila biti suzdržana. Ukupno pet zemalja je bilo za: Španjolska, Velika Britanija, Švedska, Finska i Estonija, a četiri su rekle da bi se suzdržale: Njemačka, Češka, Portugal i Belgija. Nekoliko ministara je u raspravi upozorilo na apsurdnu situaciju da je većina zemalja protiv, da je Europski parlament protiv, a Europska komisija svejedno želi dati odobrenje za uzgoj spornoga kukuruza. U pismu od 12. veljače, koje je Reuters dobio na uvid, ministri su napisali da s obzirom na broj članica koje su protiv genetski modificiranog kukuruza, njegov uzgoj u EU ne bi trebao biti odobren. Pismo su potpisali ministri vanjskih i europskih poslova iz Austrije, Bugarske, Cipra, Francuske, Mađarske, Italije, Latvije, Litve, Luksemburga, Malte, Poljske i Slovenije.
