AI:What this decision does

Parliament objected to a Commission draft decision that would authorise selling products made from genetically modified soybean MON 87705 × MON 87708 × MON 89788, which is tolerant to glyphosate and dicamba herbicides and has an altered fatty acid profile.§1: source passage in the text The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the soybean cannot be placed on the market in the EU. Parliament cited concerns about the lack of a full assessment of the complementary herbicides and their effects on health and the environment.§1: source passage in the text
