📝 Two legal challenges filed against the EU’s new GMO regulation! 💪
✊ Following the European Parliament’s approval of the deregulation of new - New Genomic Techniques ( ) - on 17 June, two legal challenges have now been brought before the EU courts.
🚫 The new rules would exempt most NGT plants from existing EU GMO requirements, including mandatory labelling. As a result, food containing these ingredients could reach supermarket shelves without lalling, leaving consumers in the dark about what’s in their food.
⚖️ On 21 September, Slovakia filed a lawsuit with the Court of Justice of the European Union challenging the new GMO regulation, following a call for action supported by numerous organisations urging the government to protect consumer rights.
🌾 On the same day, a coalition of 8 companies and 4 associations from the German breeding and farming sector also filed a lawsuit, arguing that it violates key EU legal principles including consumer protection.
