31 August 2023 / Testbiotech has today published a comprehensive analysis of the EU Commission proposal for the future deregulation of plants obtained from new genetic engineering (New GE or NGT). This is part of an EU-wide consultation. Currently, all organisms derived from genetic engineering processes must undergo risk assessment before they can be released, cultivated or consumed as food. The Commission now wants to abandon this basic principle of EU legislation. Testbiotech, however, is warning against such far-reaching deregulation.
