The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine wants the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) to cancel marking of foodstuffs not containing genetically modified organisms with a label "GMO Free."
Economy Minister Bohdan Danylyshyn announced this to the press.
According to the minister, the Cabinet of Ministers has endorsed a draft law drawn up by the Economy Ministry.
He said the draft law concerns foodstuff that cannot contain genetically modified organisms even theoretically, including food not containing albumen.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, the Economy Ministry has moved forward with an initiative to cancel marking of foodstuffs not containing genetically modified organisms with a label GMO Free.
On 29 December 2009, President Viktor Yuschenko has signed a law that provides for introducing mandatory marking of products containing genetically modified organisms.
