A challenge by @fne.asso.fr to the scientific basis of the EU’s #NewGMO proposal.🌱 Exempting many New GMOs from risk assessment, traceability & labelling is not scientifically justified. 🔎 We agree — and the implications for supply chains and consumer trust are serious. fne.asso.fr/communique-p...

Deregulation of new GMOs is without scientific basis. 13 French organisations highlight shortcomings and flaws of the EU proposal gmwatch.org/en/106-news/...

🚫 No GMOs through the back door! The EU may scrap safety checks, traceability & labelling for new GMOs. 📣 Tell your MEP: uphold our right to know what we grow & eat. ✍️ Take action now: https://demeter.net/no-gmos-through-the-back-door/ #NGTs #NewGMOs #NoHiddenGMOs

New Study Finds Gene Editing Disrupts Multiple Gene Functions. The findings apply to all types of gene editing, providing compelling evidence that moves to deregulate gene-edited organisms (new GMOs) are misguided biosafety-info.net/articles/bio...

90% of global #GMO crop acreage is herbicide tolerant—and it's helping drive up herbicide use. New GMOs—via gene editing—are set to do the same. Gene-editing pioneer Cibus Inc. says its on track to launch its rice herbicide traits in Latin America next year, followed by the US in 2028, then Asia 🌾☠️

Concerns over so-called "precision-breeding" (new GMOs) grow ahead of High Court hearing in May. Following the UK Govt's Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023, critics and campaigners are calling for much-needed transparency and consent. #GMO wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/news/the-agt...

The @europarl.europa.eu 's Committee on the Environment votes in favour of deregulating #newgeneticengineering: With the planned deregulation, the #EU is about to hand over its responsibilities for the safe use of the new technologies to free market forces… www.testbiotech.org/en/news/cart...

⛔ A majority of ENVI members in the EU Parliament today voted yes to deregulate new GMOs. This means to sell out consumer & farmer rights, health/env safety, the interests of independent seed companies.. to a handful of pesticide producers. 👉 The bulk is from Conservatives (PPE) and far right (PfE)

Fantastic news from Brussels! And organisations in the Nordic countries sent an open letter to their MEPs yesterday demanding GMO labelling. #NoHiddenGMOs

🎥Two Danish short films are asking the questions Brussels would rather skip Right now, the EU is negotiating whether to deregulate gene-edited plants – current proposals are without risk assessment and no labeling on food. 🕵️ These films take a step back and ask: Do we actually need this? ✨🌻

📅 On the eve of the final trilogue on the NGTs legislation, our President, Jan Plagge, calls on policymakers at the table to defend the rights of farmers & breeders. 📘However, the study released today by the EU Commission fails to address the patent issue: ow.ly/UOLv50XAOAn

We urge EU co-legislators to ensure: ✅ Risk assessment, labelling & traceability for all #NGTs ✅ Protection of farmers’ & breeders’ #SeedRights ✅ Policies that prioritise diversity, resilience & long-term food security 👇Europe needs transparency, precaution & fairness🌱 🧵 3/3

It is the @eppgroup.bsky.social rapporteur who doesn't want to advocate for Parliament's position in the negotiations. So far Council hasn't given anything to the @europarl.europa.eu at all. No labelling, no transparency, no breeders or farmers' rights on patents.

📣 NGOs from Austria, Spain, France & Slovenia call on the EU to “defend the right of consumers to know what they eat.” They demand traceability & labelling for all #GMOs In the #NGT trilogue talks on 13.11., the European Parliament must stand firm for consumers’ rights! bit.ly/43Je4ov #NoNewGMO

📣 #NewGMOs: Consumer organisations call on EU to "defend the right of consumers to know what they eat and their freedom of choice." #NGTs Biotech industry pressure is massive. But European Parliament should uphold position that consumers have right to know! www.brusselstimes.com/opinions/179...

GM Freeze report on the problems with the UK’s new rules for new GMOs #GMOs #GMFreeze

Yes, without labelling along the entire food chain, the right to decide what to grow and what to eat will be lost. Keep new GMOs labelled! Renew: please stand up for the European Parliament position on labelling.

Indeed, EU plant breeders & farmers face a framework on intellectual property rights that stifles innovation & harms biodiversity, especially w/increase of patented NGT plants. 👉More on legal solutions to reform biopatent laws & secure access to plant genetics www.martin-haeusling.eu/images/Legal...

On #NGTs we urge you to not sacrifice freedom of choice - both for consumers and for all business operators - for sustainability. Everyone has the right to know what’s in their food. #ICHOOSEGMOFREE

True! And not only consumers are worried, business are too! Last summer, 376 businesses from the European food industry signed a letter calling for rigorous #NGTs labelling in 🇪🇺. Learn more about the industry's concerns 📑👉 www.organicseurope.bio/news/europea... #IchooseGMOfree

Indeed, farmers reject the EU-Mercosur agreement and the unfair competition it will bring to farmers in the EU and in Mercosur countries! But farmers also oppose the proposal to deregulate new genomic techniques, which want to impose patented GMOs without any traceability and labeling

This proposal is incompatible with farmers' rights on seeds, and would simply legalize biopiracy by allowing the extension of the scope of patents to native seeds. This will only benefit to patent-holding multinationals, at the expense of European farmers, small seed breeders and agrobiodiversity
