According to a report by German "Le Monde" on April 15, the German Federal Minister of Agriculture, Eigner, said in Berlin that Germany will immediately ban the cultivation of MON810 GM corn developed by Monsanto of the United States. The ban also includes the sale of seeds.
This decision was sharply criticized by Monsanto. Monsanto believes that the prohibition is "incomprehensible," and insists that the MON 810 GM corn is harmless to humans, animals, and the environment.
Aigner defended his decision in "German TV One." According to the latest research results, the German side has a justification for the fact that the Monsanto 810 GM corn in the United States not only has an impact on corn codling moths and butterflies, but also There is a threat to other animals and the environment." She also stressed that "this is not fundamentally opposed to green genetic engineering, nor any political significance or discrimination, this ban can not be understood as against all green genetic technologies, while professional research will continue."
However, German Federal Research Minister Annet Safan is worried that this ban will play an implicit role in guiding the research results. In December 2008, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published a scientific paper that states that there is no scientific basis for the prohibition of planting Monsanto's genetically modified corn.
After Monsanto’s MON810 GM maize seed was granted EU import and plantation permits in 1998, Germany began planting in 2005 and is the only GM crop in Germany that is allowed to grow in large areas. In 2009, Germany had expected to plant 3,600 hectares of genetically modified corn. At present, the GM corn planting areas declared by Germany are mainly concentrated in eastern Saxony.
In this decision, the attitudes of different political parties in Germany are inconsistent. The CDU Secretary-General believes that the evidence of the ban is insufficient and premature; the Liberal Democratic Party agricultural politician Christel Happach-Kasan also criticized it; the vice chairman of the Green Party warned that the decision may affect the entire ecological agriculture. However, Greenpeace and environmental groups welcomed the ban. According to the German Association for the Environment and Nature Conservation, genetically modified corn has caused serious damage to animals and the environment and must be compulsorily prohibited.
It is reported that other EU countries such as France, Austria, Hungary, Greece and Luxembourg have already banned the United States from genetically modified corn.
