The EU commission today presented a new Seed Directive for the "adventitious and technically unavoidable presence of genetically modified seeds in seed-lots of non-genetically modified varieties", which proposes allowable contamination levels of GMOs in conventional and organic seeds between 0,3 and 0,7 percent. The Directive is supposed to be adopted by a technical "Standing Committee on Seeds", which will discuss it on September 22nd and may adopt it in October.</p><p><a href="http://www.zs-l.de/saveourseeds/downloads/seed_directive_2003_en.pdf" target = "blank">New Seed Directive proposal in English</a></p><p><a href="http://www.zs-l.de/saveourseeds/downloads/seed_directive_2003_de.pdf" target = "blank">Neuer Saatgut-Richtlinien-Entwurf in Deutsch</a></p><p><a href="http://www.zs-l.de/saveourseeds/downloads/seed_directive_2003_fr.pdf" target = "blank">nouvelle proposition de la Directive en francaise</a>
