The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has reconfirmed the safety of genetically modified MON810 maize, following a review of scientific information provided by EU Member State Greece and a meeting with Greek experts in July 2006. According to the EFSA GMO Panel, no new data and specific scientific evidence were presented that would invalidate the initial risk assessment and justify the prohibition of cultivation of MON810 maize in Greece.
