The parliament has passed amendments to the act on genetically modified organisms (GMO) required to align the act with four European Parliament and EU Council directives passed since 2002, when the law was first adopted.
According to Environment Minister Janez Kopac, the amendments set forth the procedure determining how EU member states and the European Commission take joint responsibility to ensure that products containing GMO do not endanger the environment or people's health.
The act does not apply to medicine, fodder and foods, as other laws apply to these fields. It does apply, however, to seedlings and seeds.
