Das EU-Parlament hat gerade die Verordnung zur Regulierung von Neuen Genomischen Techniken bei Pflanzen beschlossen. In zwei Jahren treten die neuen Regeln in Kraft. Heute Vormittag habe ich mich @uedio.bsky.social darüber gesprochen, was das für Forschung, Züchtung und Verbraucher*innen bedeutet.

Today, the European Parliament voted in favour of new regulations for NGT-derived plants! 🌱💚🧬 This is a huge success, since these technologies can help accelerate plant breeding for increased stress resistance and contribute to more sustainable agriculture. www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pres...
