據歐盟網站消息，12月4日歐盟委員會發布聲明，一致同意在成員國境內限制或禁止轉基因作物種植，無須依據歐盟風險評估結論，最終決定權交由具體成員國。
該草案尚需通過歐盟常駐代表委員會和歐洲議會全體會議表決，有望于近幾周內被歐洲議會和理事會正式批準，并于2015年春開始生效。
部分原文報道如下：
I am glad to announce that yesterday evening the European Parliament and the Council have reached a provisional political agreement on the draft legislation on GMO cultivation. The proposal, still subject to confirmation by Coreper and by the plenary of the European Parliament, will give Member States the possibility to restrict or prohibit the cultivation of GMOs on their territory, without affecting the EU risk assessment.
The agreement, if /confirm/ied, would meet Member States' consistent calls since 2009, to have the final say on whether or not GMOs can be cultivated on their territory, in order to better take into account their national context and, above all, the views of their citizens. The text agreed is in line with President Juncker commitment, as reflected in his Political Guidelines, to give the democratically elected governments at least the same weight as scientific advice when it comes to important decisions concerning food and environment.
