A genetically modified (GM) variety of maize banned in the EU has been sown accidentally across Germany.
The environmental group Greenpeace says NK603 has been planted on 3,000 hectares (7,410 acres) in seven states.
It is not clear how the contamination occurred, but it could cost farmers millions of euros, as crops will now have to be destroyed, media report.
The European Commission is meanwhile set to recommend relaxing the EU's tight rules on cultivating GM crops.

"Effects were mostly concentrated in kidney and liver function, the two major diet detoxification organs, but in detail differed with each GM type. In addition, some effects on heart, adrenal, spleen and blood cells were also frequently noted. As there normally exists sex differences in liver and kidney metabolism, the highly statistically significant disturbances in the function of these organs, seen between male and female rats, cannot be dismissed as biologically insignificant as has been proposed by others. We therefore conclude that our data strongly suggests that these GM maize varieties induce a state of hepatorenal toxicity....These substances have never before been an integral part of the human or animal diet and therefore their health consequences for those who consume them, especially over long time periods are currently unknown."
