EU backs new gene-edited crop rules despite opposition
The European Parliament has approved legislation that will ease restrictions on a new generation of gene-edited crops across the European Union, marking one of the bloc's biggest changes to agricultural biotechnology policy in decades. The rules cover plants developed through New Genomic Techniques, known as NGTs, including gene-editing methods such as CRISPR. Supporters say the technology will help farmers produce crops that are more resistant …
The EU wants to loosen the rules on genetically modified food, with direct consequences for the supply of Rewe, Lidl and Co.
By voting down the amendments, the EP finally approved the regulation on new gene editing techniques without changes.
The EU adopted this week a deregulation of the guidelines for genetically modified plants. Many genetically modified plants will therefore no longer have to be labelled as such. Above all, the leading monopolies are profiting. – A comment by Georg Lutz. Since the development of CRISPR/Cas technology, biotechnological companies are striving to sell genetically modified products on the EU internal market. CRISPR/Cas is a process of genetic enginee…
The scientist of the Higher Council of Scientific Research (CSIC) José Antonio Abelenda values that the new standards for developing more resistant crops with genetic editing techniques, agreed by the European Union (EU), "simplify the passage to trials.
