The Polish government has banned the cultivation of certain strains of genetically modified potato, as announced by a government statement dated January 2nd 2013.
The ban, which seemingly circumvents EU acceptance of GM potatoes, will take effect later this month on January 28th.
Polish Prime Minister, Donald tusk, at odds with the EU on this matter, had previously promised to ban GM crops in the country.
