Report Summary

The resolution addresses the proposed authorization of genetically modified sugar beet variety KWS20-1 for food and feed, which is resistant to herbicides like glyphosate, dicamba, and glufosinate. Concerns are raised about the lack of long-term studies on toxicological effects and cumulative impacts of pesticide residues. The increased use of complementary herbicides may accelerate resistance in weeds, harming soil health and biodiversity. The authorization conflicts with EU sustainability commitments and the precautionary principle. The Parliament urges the Commission to withdraw the proposal due to insufficient evidence of safety.
