Proposal for an EP and Council Regulation modifying Directive 2001/18/EC
Objective To provide a legal base for MS which want to
ban or restrict cultivation of authorised GMOs
Conditions Not linked to safety In agreement with EU law and international
obligations

Looking ahead – Major challenges
Cultivation – Implementation of new Commission approach
• Co-existence => Organic, non-GM and GM• Restrictions by Member States
Evaluation of EU GM legislative framework Societal/Political debate
– Responsible innovation Safety: Food, Feed & Environment Economic impacts Debate on labelling requirements
– Use of GM feed– GMO free
