ZAGREB, 18 June 2021 - The Croatian Parliament's Agriculture Committee on Friday endorsed the initiative by its chair, Marijana Petir, and adopted a declaration on the Alps-Adriatic-Danube region free of GMO.
The declaration will be forwarded to Parliament for adoption, and activities will be undertaken through national decisions and cooperation with the countries in the region to ensure that the region remains GMO-free, the Committee said.
Petir launched the initiative in 2010 after receiving the support of the professional and interest public that all Croatian counties should be declared GMO-free. She also received support from Hungarian, Austrian and Slovenian MPs and the Italian ambassador to Croatia for her initiative to declare the entire Alps-Adriatic region free of GMO.
