The CJEU stated that Member States were only entitled to prohibit or restrict the cultivation of such GMOs which had already been authorised on the EU level and included in the EUs common catalogue, where this was expressly provided for in EU law, for example in accordance with the emergency measures; under Regulation No 1829/2003 or with the coexistence measures under Directive 2002/53 Texte intégral COU-159730.pdf Site web curia.europa.eu
