The EU Parliament is scheduled to vote on new legislation introducing a 2 category system for GMO products under NGTs (New Genomic Techniques). The proposed legislation creates an NGT-1 category for final products. NGT-1 final products will no longer require mandatory GM labeling under the proposed legislation.
Mandatory GM labeling can be perceived negatively and cause limited consumer acceptance. @disclosetv reported the details of the scheduled vote and the proposed changes to labeling requirements.
