European Union environmental
ministers on Thursday ended four years of legislative deadlock
by agreeing to allow member countries to go their separate ways
on genetically modified crops.
Member states will be able to decide whether and to what
extent to allow the cultivation of gene-modified organisms
(GMOs) in their territory.
It is now up to Italy's six-month presidency to see whether
it can find a legislative agreement on the issue with the new
European Parliament.
