经过专家组评估,欧盟食品安全局发现?019年转基因玉米MON 810种植期间并未对人、动物和环境构成影响。部分原文报道如下:
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA assessed the 2019 post-market enviro
nmental mo
nitoring (PMEM) report on the cultivation of Cry1Ab-expressing maize event MON?810. Like previous years, there was full compliance with refuge requirement in Portugal and partial compliance with refuge requirements by Spanish farmers growing MON?810 varieties. European and Mediterranean corn borer populations collected from north-eastern Spain during the 2019 maize growing season and tested for Cry1Ab susceptibility show no symptoms of resistance to maize MON?810. The assessment of farmer questio
nnaires and relevant scientific publications does not indicate any unanticipated adverse effects on human and animal health or the enviro
nment arising from the cultivation of maize MON?810. Overall, EFSA co
ncludes that the evidence reported in the 2019 PMEM report does not invalidate previous EFSA e
valuations on the safety of maize MON?810. However, as in previous years, EFSA identifies shortcomings on resistance mo
nitoring that need revision in future reports. In particular, the mo
nitoring plan, as implemented in 2019, is not sufficiently sensitive to detect the recommended 3% resistance allele frequency. Consequently, EFSA stro
ngly recommends the co
nsent holder to?achieve full compliance with refuge obligations in areas wher
e adoption of maize MON?810 is high and?increase the sensitivity of the mo
nitoring plan by performing periodic F2 screens on corn borer populations from north-eastern Spain. EFSA recommends revising the farmer questio
nnaires when new characteristics of the receiving enviro
nment emerge which are relevant for the enviro
nmental risk assessment of MON 810 such as the emergence of teosinte. EFSA encourages the Competent authorities of co
ncerned EU Member States, the co
nsent holder and enviro
nmental networks to engage in a dialogue to develop a f
ramework on how to best identify and report unexpected adverse effects from the cultivation of Bt maize varieties.
