– EU plans 2-year carcinogenicity study on NK603 maize (GM Watch, July 3, 2013):
In spite of concerted attempts to denigrate and misrepresent the 2012 study of Prof GE Seralini on NK603 maize, it’s good to see that the EU has drawn the sensible lesson from the study and has issued a call for researchers to do a 2-year carcinogenicity study on NK603.
The EU will fund the study to the amount of 3 million Euros.
Details of the EU call are here:
