Abstract

Request to review scientific studies relating to the impact on the environment of the cultivation of maize Bt11 and 1507The EFSA Journal (2008) 581, 2-27On 24 July 2008, the GMO Panel received a new request from the European Commission to review the previous scientific opinions of maize Bt11 and 1507 in the light of 11 scientific publications, published after the adoption of the complemented scientific opinions of the GMO Panel, as well as any other relevant study.The GMO Panel concludes that neither the 11 scientific publications selected and provided by the European Commission, nor recent peer-reviewed papers identified as relevant by the GMO Panel, invalidate the former risk assessments of maize Bt11 and 1507 performed by the GMO Panel.
