==The right to sow GM maize==
In the second half of 2006, Giorgio Fidenato decided to sow transgenic seeds on his land.
Since cultivating transgenic products is possible by virtue of European legislation but was not yet implemented in Italy, to produce genetically modified crops like corn requires the authorization of the Italian Ministry of Agriculture.
To this question in early 2007, the Italian Ministry of Agriculture said no, because there is no plan for coexistence between GMO and non-GMO crops for the region ([[Friuli]]).
Fidenato with Silvano Dalla Libera and their association [http://www.futuragra.it/ Futuragra] supported by the Movimento Libertario, immediately went to the Regional Administrative Court, but the appeal was rejected in a preliminary ruling by the lack of citation of the subject most closely concerned in the proceedings in question, namely the region [[Friuli Venezia Giulia]].
In 2008, the appeal to the [[Italian Council of State]] on 19 January 2010 ruled in favor of Fidenato.
According to the Italian Council of State, the fact that the region of Friuli had not prepared the plan for coexistence can not obstruct the right of Fidenato to sow his land with GMO, because GMO crops are allowed within the European market.<ref>[http://www.salmone.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/sentenza-cons-di-stato-19-01-2010.pdf Copy of ruling of the Italian Council of State on January 19, 2010] Archived from [http://www.salmone.org www.salmone.org].</ref>
Furthermore, the plan deals with the coexistence of the socioeconomic aspects (e.g. distance of the crops the adjoining land) and not issues related to environment and health.
With this ruling, then, the Italian Council of State gave notice to the Italian Ministry of Agriculture within 90 days to give permission to Fidenato to sow his land with [[GMO]].<ref>[http://www.futuragra.it/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=139&Itemid=1 ''Futuragra: Judgment of the State Council says it is right that farmers to sow GMO corn''], Comment to ruling by Futuragra.
