The renewal of authorization for genetically modified MON 87708 soybeans is under scrutiny due to concerns over dicamba herbicide tolerance. While EFSA found no new risks, potential long-term ecological and health impacts remain insufficiently assessed. The European Parliament urges the Commission to withdraw the proposal, citing the precautionary principle. It also demands reforms to the GMO approval process to address democratic deficits and lack of consensus among member states. Environmental and socio-economic risks linked to herbicide drift are highlighted as key issues.
