據歐盟食品安全局消息，近日意大利向歐盟委員會提交了對轉基因玉米實施禁令的文件，歐委會要求歐盟食品安全局對此進行審查。
經過審查，歐盟食品安全局認為，沒有科學證據證實轉基因玉米對人類和動物健康，或者對環境構成風險。
部分原文報道如下：
There is 'no specific scientific evidence' to support an Italian ban on the genetically modified maize MON810, according to the European Food Safety Authority （EFSA）。
The EFSA scientific opinion comes after assessment of evidence submitted to the European Commission by Italian authorities to support the country's ban on biotech giant Monsanto's genetically modified maize MON810.
However, the EFSA Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms （EFSA GMO Panel） has now concluded that all of the concerns raised by Italian authorities have been addressed in previous scientific opinions - adding that there is no evidence to support an Italian ban based on the 'emergency measure' measure under Article 34 of Regulation （EC） No 1829/2003, nor is there evidence that would invalidate previous risk assessments of MON810 conducted by EFSA.
