EU’s Proposal on NGTs: Updates and Recent Developments
The European Commission recognizes the potential of new genomic techniques (NGTs) in contributing to a more sustainable and resilient agricultural sector. In July 2023, the Commission released the Proposal on New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) and Plant Reproductive Material (PRM). The proposal, suggested by the Council of the European Union in 2019, will significantly impact Europe's seed companies, farmers, and vegetable growers. The Proposal suggests that plants derived from targeted mutagenesis and cisgenesis be categorized separately from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and also introduces a notification process for “conventional-like” category 1 plants to confirm their status.
