The deregulation proposal and reactions in the organic world

“The organic world, but also certain parts of the political world (generally, the Left and Green movements), continue to express strong concern about the developments in the proposal submitted by the Commission on NGT deregulation.”

The draft under discussion clearly favors those who want to use NGTs, placing all the advantages on their side, while the burdens and costs fall on those who do NOT want to use them, argues a statement from ENGA, the European Association of Non-GMO Enterprises
This is a proposal tailored to the biotech seed industry, and one that goes against the interests of the food industry and European citizens, who have a right to know what is in their food. ENGA concludes that trying to hide NGT is the wrong way to go as it threatens trust in political institutions and the food industry.”
