Objection pursuant to Rule 115(2) and (3) of the Rules of Procedure to the draft Commission Implementing Decision renewing the authorisation for the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified cotton MON 88913, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council

In this non-legislative resolution, Parliament objects under Rule 115 to the draft Commission implementing decision renewing the authorisation for the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified cotton MON 88913 under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. It considers that the draft decision exceeds the Commission's implementing powers and is inconsistent with Union law and the precautionary principle, and calls on the Commission to withdraw the draft and not to renew the authorisation of the GM cotton, citing concerns linked to herbicide use, biodiversity impacts and insufficient evidence on long-term safety in line with the One Health approach. The resolution further calls on the Commission to submit without delay a legislative proposal to reform the GMO decision-making procedure and instructs Parliament's President to forward it to the Council, the Commission and the governments and parliaments of the Member States. It was adopted on 2025-11-25.
