Health written question – answered at on 9 February 2005.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the likely impact of draft guidelines published by the United States Food and Drug Administration regarding the regulation of experimental crops on UK (a) importers and (b) retailers of (i) animal feed and (ii) food intended for human consumption.
holding answer
The proposed measures published by the United States Food and Drug Administration impact equally across the European Union. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has raised this issue with the European Commission and other member states, and encouraged the Commission to reply on behalf of the EU. The FSA has not therefore made an assessment of the likely impact of the draft guidelines.
