According to Article 31(2) of Directive 2001/18/EC, the Commission is also to establish
one or several register(s), for the purpose of recording the information on genetic
modifications in GMOs specified in Section A, point 7 of Annex IV to that Directive.
The contents of this register is described in
Commission Decision 2004/204/EC of 23rd February. Therefore, this website
contains also the required information about GMOs authorized, under Directive 2001/18/EC
for marketing purposes which include authorization for cultivation, food, feed and
processing.
GMOs can also be approved for placing on the market under
Regulation 1829/2003/EC
