A draft EU law that would enable any member state to restrict or prohibit the sale and use of EU-approved GMO food or feed on its territory was opposed by Environment Committee MEPs on Tuesday.

The recommendation will be put to a vote by Parliament as a whole at the 26-29 October plenary session in Strasbourg.
