Sammenhængen har villet, at Unionen pålægger et komplet moratorium (idet majsen risikerer hurtigt at blive fulgt af genetisk modificeret soja og raps med alle de risici, det indebærer), indtil undersøgelser med overbevisende resultater har påvist uskadeligheden eller faren for at bringe sådanne frø på markedet.
Consistency would have had it that the Union impose a complete moratorium (since maize is likely to be followed rapidly by genetically modified soya and rape, with all the risks they bring), until research with convincing results has concluded either that the marketing of this seed is harmless or dangerous.
