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...

See ENGA background paper on NGT traceability, NGT labelling and NGT detection methods for more: www.enga.org/fileadmin/us...

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

It is crucial to guarantee on-package labeling throughout the entire supply chain, from the field to the plate. The Parliament must not give up on labeling and traceability in the current #NGT negotiations. Support breeders, farmers, producers and consumers in their right to choose! #IChooseGMOFree

In addition, farmers are facing more problems: Scrapping safety rules for NGT crops will cause a flood of patented crops, harming farmers and benefiting a few big biotech corporations. #Nopatentonseeds Dear Mr Canfin, as Shadow, will you strongly defend the EP position to opposing patents on crops?

Indeed unwanted contamination will rapidly and repeatedly occur and it will be not reversible. As a geneticist and organic farmer, but more so as a mother feeding her children I cannot understand how this is not alarming and how it is not a political priority.

Dear Mr. Canfin, our agriculture also needs protection from unwanted contamination from new GMOs. Please stand up for stand up for the @europarl.europa.eu’s position in Trilogue

Dear Mr Canfin, please don’t bargain labelling of new GMOs for alleged sustainability. Our nature is in crisis and needs better from you. New GMOs are part of a highly industrialised farming system and should not get any incentives by being falsely labeled as sustainable crops

Genewatch UK has just released “Chimera: The Genetic Modification of Nature” — a major briefing ahead of the #IUCNcongress2025 warning about the risks of releasing GM organisms into the wild. 🌱 🤓 tinyurl.com/4459czr8 Re-designing nature isn’t the same as protecting it. The stakes are huge.

Hundreds of activists marched on June 14 in Parma for the demonstration against #newGMOs / #NBTs organized by the Cambiare il Campo network. It was an important step in the ongoing struggle against the deregulation @cicrocevia.bsky.social Read more on www.gmo-free-regions.org/countries/it...

Hundreds of people, including @cicrocevia.bsky.social, took to the streets in Parma over the weekend to protest against the proposed deregulation of new #GMOs (NGTs). They oppose all attempts to remove traceability, labelling, and risk assessment for genetically modified and patented lab organisms.

The first demonstration on new GMOs in Parma on Saturday 14 June 2025. A few hundreds of people participated. Reported by @cicrocevia.bsky.social #NoGMOsInMyFood #NoGMOsInMyField www.gmo-free-regions.org/countries/it...

🔍 L’étiquetage alimentaire est essentiel pour informer les consommateurs sur la présence d’#OGM ✔️ ❌ Mais l’UE envisage de supprimer l’étiquetage des #NouveauxOGM (#NTG #NGT) ! ✊ Défendons notre droit à l'information : exigeons le maintien de l’étiquetage OGM ! #NoGMOsInMyFood

L’étiquetage alimentaire est indispensable pour informer les conso et leur permettre de savoir si un aliment contient des #OGM Les élus discutent de la fin de l'étiquetage des #NTG ! Nous exigeons que nos élus défendent notre liberté de choix et maintiennent l'étiquetage des OGM ! #NoGMOsInMyFood

Wir fordern Politiker*innen in der EU auf, alle gentechnisch veränderten Lebensmittel weiterhin zu kennzeichnen und damit die Wahlfreiheit von Verbraucher*innen zu verteidigen! #NoGMOsInMyFood

👀 Food labels give us the information we need to choose what we eat — including whether products contain GMOs. ✔️ 💼 But EU politicians are considering scrapping labelling requirements for most #NewGMOs ✊ We call on them to defend our right to choose — all GMOs must remain labelled! #NoGMOsInMyFood

👀 Food labels provide information that allows us to choose the food we want to eat, i.e. presence of GMOs.✔️ 💼 But EU politicians are discussing ending the labelling of most #NewGMOs #NGTs ❌ ✊ We demand that politicians defend our freedom of choice and keep all GMOs labelled! #NoGMOsInMyFood

Yesterday, we brought our #newGMOs wheel of fortune in front of the EU Parliament 🎡 With many other organisations, including @corporateeurope.bsky.social @cidse.bsky.social & farmers groups, we call on MEPs to keep new GMOs regulated and to stop gambling with our food! @pcanfin.bsky.social

Manifestation: don't scrap safety rules for new GMOs!! #NGTs Patents on crops will increase dependence on big biotech firms Bayer, BASF, Syngenta, Corteva. With farmers, organisations, MEPs.

Deregulation of new GMOs would mean a sell out of our food system to corporations. #NGTs Message to the EU Parliament: vote for consumer labelling, for ban on patents, for environmental safety checks.

📢 Yesterday, we joined the demo against #newGMOs in front of the EU Parliament!🌱🚜 We stand firm: Strong safeguards for farmers, consumers, & environment are a MUST. Full traceability & clear rules are essential to protect our food system! More 👉 www.organicseurope.bio/news/council... #NGTs

🧬 EU plans for #NGTs don’t require detection methods for 94% of new GMOs. Labs won’t be able to detect what’s in the food chain. Labs: Sign the open letter by 15 April to demand access to detection tools & data. ✍️ www.enga.org/fileadmin/us... #GMOs #FoodSafety
