EU members go own way on genetically modified crops - update

(ANSA) - Luxembourg, June 12 - 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.
