Enforcement Of The Genetically Modified Organism Traceability And Labelling Regulations (EDM1488)

Enforcement Of The Genetically Modified Organism Traceability And Labelling Regulations

EDM number 1488 in 2005-06, proposed by Norman Baker on 26/01/2006.

That this House notes the all-party support for the genetically modified content of food and animal feed to be clearly labelled to ensure that consumers and farmers have the right to choose products free of GM ingredients and to enable potential health and environmental impacts of GM crops to be monitored post-marketing; expresses concern about the illegal import over four years of GM Bt10 maize into the EU from the United States which went undetected; further notes the conclusions of a survey carried out by GM Freeze in 2005 that the current level of enforcement of the GMO Traceability and Labelling Regulations across the United Kingdom cannot be said to guarantee the accuracy of GM labelling on food or feed or that no unapproved GM varieties have been imported into the United Kingdom and entered the food chain; and therefore calls upon the Government and the Food Standards Agency to recognise the importance of enforcement at local level, ensure that port health authorities monitor every incoming cargo which may contain GM and take a positive lead in enforcement by providing clear guidance and advice.

This motion has been signed by a total of 74 MPs.
