In a letter to Commissioner Dalli, Testbiotech and GeneWatch UK give new evidence of EFSA´s failure to perform risk assessment of genetically engineered plants. A detailed analysis of original documents as filed by Monsanto for their genetically engineered maize sold under brand of Genuity VT Triple PRO shows that crucial documents do not meet the standards of so called Good Laboratory Practice (GLP standards). As for example the company states in their investigation of the combinatorial toxicity of insecticides produced in the plants “there was no intention to conduct this study according to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Standards. ” Nevertheless the data were accepted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the plants were accepted as being safe.
