The legislation, informally agreed by Parliament and Council in December, was originally tabled in 2010 but was then deadlocked for four years due to disagreement between pro and anti-GMO member states.
Sheria hiyo, iliyokubaliwa kwa njia isiyo rasmi na Bunge na Baraza mnamo Desemba, iliwasilishwa hapo awali mnamo 2010 lakini ilisitishwa kwa miaka minne kutokana na kutokubaliana kati ya nchi wanachama wanaounga mkono na wanaopinga GMO.
