| | New legal opinion: New GMOs deregulation proposal shifts safety testing, liability to EU food industry The planned deregulation of new GMOs (new genomic techniques, NGTs) in the EU would shift safety testing and liability risks for plants produced with NGTs and the products derived from them, from biotech companies to the food industry. These consequences, until now unnoticed, of the EU Commission's plans to deregulate new GMOs are highlighted in a new legal opinion by the Berlin law firm GGSC on behalf of ENGA’s member VLOG (German Association for Food without Genetic Engineering). ENGA is the voice of the Non-GMO food and feed sector at the EU level. Heike Moldenhauer, Secretary General of ENGA, said: “With its plans to deregulate New GMOs, the European Commission is throwing the EU’s food sector ‘to the wolves’, by shifting the costs and risks from biotech to the food sector. This is unacceptable and may become a major problem for the entire EU food industry, not just the organic and ‘Non-GMO’ sectors.” GMWatch Take action: Mexicans should not be forced to eat GMO tortillas by the US and Canada In light of the December 20 ruling of the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (UCMCA) tribunal in favour of the United States and Canada and against Mexico in the dispute over GMO corn, individuals and organisations can sign on to a statement expressing their outrage.
