Lead: the European Union of animal feed producers (Fefac) said at a press conference on Thursday that it had reservations about the EU's recent proposal to label genetically modified feed Some feed producers felt that the proposal did not ensure the status of the raw materials they were going to use because it did not include seed production and marketing "We heard that the EU is working on seed legislation, but unfortunately we found that they left this part out," said an official at Fefac Later, he added, the European Union may have another proposal on seeds Fefac also said that the European Union should have made proposals on the use of labels to indicate which products are not genetically modified The EU's lengthy non GM rules have further confused the market There are no clear regulations on the important issues such as the composition and origin of genetically modified products Nearly 30 million tons of products, accounting for 8% of the total feed supply in the EU, are considered genetically modified products under the new EU labeling system.
