BIG NEWS! 💚The European Commission has launched the #inceptionimpactassessment on legislation for #plants produced by certain #newgenomictechniques incl. genome editing, open for feedback until 22 Oct 2021. Things are moving & we 💚 it! #cropsmatter ->> tinyurl.com/5juctw8f
Liebe #plantsci Community Deutsche Botanische Gesellschaft (DBG) Bitte bringt Eure Sichtweise zu den Rechtsvorschriften für Pflanzen die mit #CRISPR und anderen NBTs erzeugt wurden bei der EU Kommission ein: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bette… Deadline 22.10.
There has been an incredible amount of copy-paste comments on the EC consultation on legislation for new genomic techniques in plant breeding, apparently generated by an automated app used by Greens/EFA in the EU Parliament 🌍, NGOs and Co. How will the EC handle this sa-BOT-age? Must-read (in German).
🎙️We are part of episode 3 of the European Commission podcast series #citizencentral, featuring stories on European Citizens' Initiatives. #cropsmatter #growscientificprogress 💚🌱 -->europa.eu/citizens-initi…
For our German-speaking followers: A wonderfully digestible and insightful presentation by Dr. Ortrun Mittelsten Scheid at Skeptics in the Pub Wien on plant #genomeediting with #CRISPR. Highly recommended! 💚 #cropsmatter
Wir begrüßen die Forderung von BM Bettina Stark-Watzinger, das Gentechnikrecht zu novellieren und an den aktuellen Erkenntnisstand der Wissenschaft anzupassen. So können auch #CRISPR & Co in der EU zu einer nachhaltigeren Landwirtschaft beitragen! #ProgressiveAgrarwende #GiveGenesAChance
