Dear readers,
The time has come: on 13 May, the Non-GMO sector will gather for the International Non-GMO Summit in Frankfurt, Germany. The conference will open with welcoming addresses from, among others, the German Minister for Agriculture, Alois Rainer.
The Non-GMO Summit will focus entirely on the upcoming EU deregulation of New Genetic Techniques (NGT), on which the European Parliament is expected to hold a final vote in June. What do the new rules mean for “Non-GMO” and organic products? How can we continue to reliably exclude both “old” and “new” genetic engineering? You can still join us when the industry discusses these questions together.
A new legal opinion shows that, from a purely legal standpoint, “Non-GMO” must also stand for “No NGT”.
Our seal is already widely used as a guide when shopping. Deregulation is likely to make it even more important.
We look forward to welcoming you too in Frankfurt next week!
