The government will be able to ban trade in GMO seeds under an amendment to seeding laws to come into force on January 1, 2017. Under present laws GMO seeds can be marketed but not grown.
The amendment, filed by the Senate (upper house) in the course of ongoing adjustments of Polish seeding laws to EU directives, allows the government to issue a trade ban on GMO seeds on grounds of their unsuitability for Polish agriculture, threat to the health of people, animals and plants, and for environmental reasons.
The government will have 12 months from the new law's introduction to impose a GMO trade ban in Poland.(PAP)
