Monsanto Pulls GM Corn Amid Serious Food Safety Concerns Applicant's
Dossiers Contained Wide-Ranging Fraudulent Research 

Press Notice from GM Free Cymru 9 November 2009 

For the first time, a GM multinational has pulled two GM corn varieties from
the regulatory and assessment process at the eleventh hour (1), after
planning for a future income of several billion dollars per year from global
sales (2). Monsanto has abandoned its ambitious plans for a so-called
"second generation GM crop" rather than accede to a request from European
regulators for additional research and safety data (3).
