Environment Minister: GM corn may be banned in Romania
A worldwide flaming controversy is taking place lately on the subject. In Romania, the more relaxed legislation allowed the cultivation of genetically modified soy for almost 10 years. Experiments have been conducted for modified plums and potatoes as well.
Although many companies conducted a strong lobby in favor of GMOs, the European Union spoke its final word: starting in 2007, these crops are forbidden. The only modified plant that is allowed to grow is corn, in some of its clones.
