Ensure a sustainable future for farmers - reject the Commission Proposal for a Regulation on plants obtained by certain new genomic techniques and their food and feed
Dear Prime Minister Tusk,
We write to you to express our deep concerns regarding the Commission Proposal for a Regulation on plants obtained by new genomic techniques (NGT) and their food and feed.
Highly problematic proposal to deregulate genomic techniques in food and feed
Dear Minister,
In view of the next Presidency Council meeting on 10-11 December, where the Proposal for a Regulation on plants obtained by new genomic techniques (NGT) and their food and feed will be discussed, we would like to share our deep concerns with you. The current proposal is characterised by significant shortcomings regarding risk assessment, possible impacts on farmers, transparency and rights of producers, retailers, consumers and public authorities.
