#32026D1125EU ends renewal procedures for five genetically modified cotton authorisations
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decision ends the EU renewal procedures for five genetically modified cotton products: MON 88913, MON 15985, MON 1445, MON 531 × MON 1445 and MON 531. These authorisations covered food and feed uses, and in some cases other cotton-based products, but not cultivation in the EU. Businesses dealing in GMO cotton products should treat these renewal files as closed and check whether any existing placing-on-the-market rights, stock handling rules, or supply contracts are affected. The practical impact falls mainly on Bayer and operators importing, processing, or selling products linked to these cotton events in the EU and EEA market.
