Hungary’s GMO-free status must be maintained
Hungary’s GMO-free status and its right to be able to decide on this issue in a sovereign way, to protect Hungarian agriculture and the health of consumers, must be preserved – Máté Kanász-Nagy, deputy faction leader of the opposition party, said on Wednesday.
Commenting on that day’s parliamentary vote at his press conference, which can also be followed online, the politician expressed his incomprehension at the breakdown of the national consensus and the negative vote of some conservative and right-wing representatives.
On Wednesday, the Parliament found with 171 votes in favor, 12 against and one abstention that it violates the principle of subsidiarity in the European Parliament, which also contains amendments to the regulation on certain plants obtained through new genetic manipulation techniques and the food and feed derived from them, as well as on the official control of food and feed and draft council decree.
