The European Parliament has confirmed that plants created using new gene-editing techniques should be removed from the scope of a 2001 directive on genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the creation of two new categories of crops to be subject to a lighter regulatory touch. MEPs originally voted in favour of the legislation in February, effectively calling for a regulatory regime where a plant that has only had a limited number of point changes to made to its DNA sequence would be subject to more or less the same rules as a conventionally bred crop strain. The vote was deemed necessary be...

The European Parliament is seeking to exempt certain plant varieties from the stringent rules governing New Genomic Techniques (NGTs). The method currently has similar regulation to that used for Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). While supporters view this as an opportunity to cultivate more resilient seeds, critics have raised concerns about the potential risks associated the technique. NGTs hold promise for creating plant varieties resistant to drought, pests, and diseases. But what exactly are these techniques? Professor Bendahmane, INRAE Research Director at ENS Lyon, is actively appl...

MEPs have narrowly agreed that a new generation of genetically modified crops should be subject to lighter touch regulation, but a German federal watchdog warned the deregulation proposal ig-nores “plausible risks” from plants that have been tweaked using new genome editing techniques, while EU countries remained deadlocked over whether they should be patentable. Plant strains developed using ‘new genomic techniques' (NGTs) are already hitting the market in the US, and currently covered in the EU by a GMO Directive dating from 2001, when bioengineers relied on transplanting a whole gene from o...
