Eilmeldung: Der Rat hat der EU-#Gentechnikreform zugestimmt - jetzt ist das Parlament am Zug.
Die Mitgliedstaaten unterstützen die Deregulierung neuer genomischer Techniken (#NGTs) - ohne umfassende Risikoprüfung, ohne durchgehende Kennzeichnungspflicht oder Patentschutzregeln.
Jetzt müssen wir im Parlament gegenhalten - für Transparenz, Wahlfreiheit, Saatgutvielfalt und den Schutz gentechnikfreier Landwirtschaft. -
Die Verhandler von EU- Parlament, Rat und Kommission haben sich auf ein Gesetz für neue Gentechniken (NGT) geeinigt.
Warum ich das Gesetz ablehne, sehr ihr im Video! -

Protest today in Brussels in front of the 🇪🇺EU Parliament — one day before the vote on the negotiating mandate on #NewGMOs (#NGTs) — demanding strong safeguards for farmers, consumers and the environment. Deregulation of new GMOs would mean a sell out of our food system to corporations. Our message to the EU Parliament: Vote for consumer labelling, for a ban on patents on crops (which will increase dependence on Bayer, BASF, Syngenta and Corteva), and for environmental safety checks.

New #geneticengineering is not only used on plants – animals are also to be 'optimized' with it.
This poses major challenges as the use of #NGTs on animals entails considerable #animalwelfare problems and risks for breeders.

#NeueGentechnik (#NGTs) an Pflanzen:
Bisher hat die Europäische Lebensmittelbehörde @EFSA dass schon geringfügige Veränderungen an einem miRNA-Gen die Aktivität hunderter andere Gene betreffen können.So können komplexe Stoffwechselvorgänge wie Wachstum, Entwicklung und Stressreaktion von Pflanzen verändert werden. Dem Vorschlag der @EU_Commission zufolge würden derartige Anwendungen dereguliert, obwohl sie mit konventioneller Zucht nicht erzielt werden können.

This week EU parliament will set the sails for #NGTs in sustainable #agriculture. Besides the overwhelming scientific consensus in favour of these #breeding tools, let's not forget to hear the voices of next generation's researchers.

We call on @Europarl_EN
to this week vote in favour of #NGTs.This would mean EU farmers have access to better crops.
✅ Higher yields
✅ More climate resilient
✅ More resilient to pests and disease
✅ Require fewer inputsA win for food security & our environment.

Last week WePlanet sent an open letter to MEPs signed by 35 Nobel laureates and over 1000 scientists calling for them to secure the future of sustainable agriculture in the EU.
This comes ahead of a vote on whether to allow farmers in the EU to use crop variants created via New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs).
This isn't just science; it's a blueprint for a more sustainable future for agriculture, and our environment.
