In June 2009, DG SANCO launched an evaluation by an external contractor of the legislative framework on GM food and feed. This exercise intends to cover the two major aspects of the current legislation: the risk assessment and regulatory approval process and the labelling requirements. The process of evaluation will cover at the same time the experience gathered in all the 27 Member States and the approach of some of our most important trading partners.
