verklaring globale Plant Raad op die regulering van gene geredigeer plante
oordeel ECJ: EU-lande mag nie noodmaatreëls te neem met betrekking tot geneties gemodifiseerde voedsel en voer tensy dit duidelik dat daar 'n ernstige risiko vir die gesondheid of die omgewing
Oktober 1, 2017Volgens prokureur-generaal Bobek, organismes verkry deur mutagenese is, in prinsiep, vrygestel van die verpligtinge in die Geneties Gemodifiseerde Organismes Richtlijn.
Januarie 18, 2018Uitvoerende opsomming: The advent of gene editing as a plant breeding method presents important opportunities for making very precise changes in genomes to obtain desired traits or remove undesirable traits. As with all newly developed plants, plants with genetic changes obtained through genome editing are subject to existing plant-variety development systems. In as far as those genetic changes are indistinguishable from what can be obtained using conventional strategies, we recommend the resulting plants are subject only to existing systems for variety development. Only when genetic changes go well beyond what can be obtained with conventional breeding strategies might the resulting plants also be subject to biosafety (e.g. GMO) regulasies.
