The bill was drafted by the Ministry of Education and Science and
is aimed at tightening control over GMO-based products in the country.

“The import of GMOs and GMO-based products into the Russian Federation
may be banned if such products fail to pass the required examinations,”
the explanatory memorandum to the bill stated.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the country must protect
its citizens from the use of foods derived from genetically modified
organisms. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has likewise said that Russia
does not intend to import products containing GMOs.
