The European Commission has presented a proposal to modernise EU regulations on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to incorporate new gene editing techniques.

Under the proposal, genetically modified plants obtained through methods like CRISPR will be exempt from GMO rules as long as the modifications are comparable to those achievable through conventional breeding techniques.

This change aims to foster innovation in agriculture by recognising the precision and potential benefits of gene editing technologies; which can enhance crop resilience, pest resistance, yield, and sustainability.
