WRITTEN QUESTION E-2174/97 by Hiltrud Breyer (V) to the Council (25 June 1997)

Subject: Novel food regulation No 258/97 - Monitoring of products free of 'genetic engineering'

1. Will the research laboratories also be available to manufacturers not supplying products produced by genetic engineering processes and who wish to have this checked?

2. Will such research be free of charge, in order not to place the manufacturers in question at a disadvantage?

3. On the other hand, will the tests cover not only those foods which manufacturers declare not to have been produced by genetic engineering?

Joint answer to Written Questions E-2168/97, E-2170/97, E-2172/97 and E-2174/97 (28 October 1997)

The Council has not received any information on Member States' arrangements regarding these points.
