Question for written answer E-015339-15
to the Commission
Rule 130

On 5 June 2009, the Commission signed a contract with a contractor named ‘Evaluation Consortium’. The aim of the evaluation was to determine to what extent the objectives of the legislative framework on genetically modified food and feed — namely protecting human and animal health, the environment and consumer interests while ensuring the effective functioning of the internal market, and evaluating whether those objectives are still in line with current developments in the industry — had been achieved.

Until now, the Commission has not released any information on this evaluation report. Given that, could it please say when the evaluation was supposed to have been carried out pursuant to the contract? If it has already been carried out, where can it be accessed?
