More than the data provided by Friend of the Earth International suggest. The only crop cultivated in the EU in 21 is MON81 Bt-maize * France has implemented a moratorium on cultivation of MON81 Bt-maize on December 6, 27 ** RoundupReady soya was cultivated in Romania until 27. Import of this soya is officially authorized by the EU but cultivation is not. When Romania became a member of the EU in 27 RoundupReady soya could therefore no longer be cultivated.what remained was cultivation of MON81 Bt-maize. *** Germany has implemented a moratorium on cultivation of MON81 Bt-maize in April 29. ha France Germany Sweden Romania Slovakia Poland Czech Republic Portugal Spain LIS Consult, 8 February 212 9
