GMO regulation in New Caledonia

First step !

New Caledonia adopted yesterday two regulation texts about GMO control :

 

1/ GMO seeds' importations will be ban for cereals and fruits (not for vegetables), with an immediate effect (it will be effectiv in a few weeks). Biosafety authority hope to be able to analyze the seeds by itself before the end of the year.

 

2/ A text about GMO labelling has been proposed, it still need to be approved by the Congress. As in Europe, label would be mandatory for products which include more than 0,9% of GMO (per ingredient)... it should also include labelling of meat, eggs, milk... from animals fed with GMOs. The enforcement could not be effective before december 2016... !
