Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) Based on the current scientific and technical knowledge in particular on safety aspects, this Regulation should be limited to GMOs that are plants, i.e. organisms in the taxonomic groups Archaeplastida or Phaeophyceae, excluding. Available knowledge on other organisms, such as microorganisms, fungi and animals for which , should be reviewed withe available knowledge is more limited view to future legislative initiatives on this. For the same reason, this Regulation should only cover plants obtained by certain NGTs: targeted mutagenesis and cisgenesis (including intragenesis) (hereinafter ‘NGT plants’), but not by other new genomic techniques. Such NGT plants do not carry genetic material from non-crossable species. GMOs produced by other new genomic techniques that introduce into an organism genetic material from non-crossable species (transgenesis) should remain subject only to the Union GMO legislation, given that the resulting plants might bear specific risks associated to the transgene. Moreover, there is no indication that current requirements in the Union GMO legislation for GMOs obtained by transgenesis need adaptation at the present time.

Article 30 – paragraph 5 b (new)
5b. By [two years after entry into force], the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council examining existing Union GMO legislation and assessing the degree to which it is still fit for purpose. Specifically, the report shall consider whether current requirements under Union GMO legislations are sufficiently science-based, proportionate to the risks and harmonized with global requirements. Where relevant, the report may be accompanied by a legislative proposal.
