Mr. Dewson: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make it his policy in the
European Council to support those member states of the European Community which have banned genetically modified maize. [14558]
Angela Eagle: At the Article 21 Committee on 5 November, Austria requested that the vote on the Commission proposal to require
Austria and Luxembourg to repeal their bans on GM maize be postponed. The United Kingdom delegation, among others, supported the
Austrian request, and consideration of the Commission's proposal has been deferred until the next meeting of the Article 21
Committee, in about two months time. In the meantime it is expected that the Commission will endeavour to find compromise wording
for the proposal and the Government will consider its position in the light of these developments.
