ASA welcomes EU approvals

soybean field-guthrie center 7-14The American Soybean Association (ASA) says it welcomes European Union (EU) approval of three biotech soybean traits for import and processing. But ASA says improvements still are needed in the timeliness of EU approvals.

ASA says the three soybean events received positive scientific opinions from the European Food Safety Agency over a year ago, but have been waiting for final approval by the EU Commission since January.

The approved traits include the Xtend dicamba-tolerant soybean and Vistive Gold high oleic soybean products from Monsanto, and the Balance GT soybean from Bayer CropScience.
