The European Parliament adopted the resolution drafted by Karin SCHEELE (PES, Austria) on genetically modified food and feed. (Please refer to the document dated 04/06/02.) Parliament stipulated that the requirements relating to legislation on the authorisation of food and feed must be identical for all products imported in to the EU, in order to avoid the creation of unequal and unfair conditions of competition. Parliament went on to insert new definitions relating to such terms as "genetically modified feed" and "final consumer". Member States must encourage the drawing up of guidelines on good segregation practice. Parliament also inserted labelling requirements for compound feedingstuff, and made provisions for transitional arrangements.�
