Under this compromise, category 1 NGT plants would be sold alongside organic plants, without distinction, with organic producers technically unable to avoid NGT presence in their produce, leaving both producers and consumers in the dark. Patent problems are left unresolved, too.
We oppose the political agreement to exempt certain non-genomic techniques #NGTs from the legal requirements currently applicable to #GMOs, as reached today between the @consilium.europa.eu and the @europarl.europa.eu. It undermines the integrity of organic food production and consumer choice.
