(2) NGTs constitute a diverse group of genomic techniques, and each of them can be used in various ways to achieve different results and products. They can result in organisms with modifications equivalent to what can be obtained by conventional breeding methods or in organisms with more complex modifications. Among NGTs, targeted mutagenesis and cisgenesis (including intragenesis) introduce genetic modifications without inserting genetic material from non-crossable species (transgenesis). They rely only on the breeders’ gene pool, i.e. the total genetic information that is available for conventional breeding including from distantly related plant species that can be crossed by advanced breeding techniquin one species. Targeted mutagenesis techniques result in modification(s) of the DNA sequence at precise locations in the genome of an organism. Cisgenesis techniques result in the insertion, in the genome of an organism, of genetic material already present in the breeders’ gene pool. Intragenesis is a subset of cisgenesis resulting in the insertion in the genome of a rearranged copy of genetic material composed of two or more DNA sequences already present in the breeders’ gene pool.

(3) There is ongoing public and private research using NGTs on a wider variety of crops and traits compared to those obtained through transgenic techniques authorised in the Union or globally(33 ). This includes plants with potentially improved tolerance or resistance to plant diseases and pests, tolerance to herbicides, plants with improved tolerance or resistance to climate change effects and environmental stresses, improved nutrient and water-use efficiency, plants with higher yields and resilience and improved quality characteristics. These types of new plants, coupled with the fairly easy and speedy applicability of those new techniques, could deliver benefits to farmers, consumers and to the environment. Thus,us, NGTs might have the potential to contribute to the innovation and sustainability goals of the European Green Deal (34 ) and of the ‘Farm to Fork’ (35 ), Biodiversity (36 ) and Adaptation to Climate Change(37 ) Strategies, to global food security (38 ), the Bioeconomy Strategy (39 ) and to the Union’s strategic autonomy (40 ). However, most NGTs havein the potential to contribute to the innovation and sustainability goalre-commercial stage relate to pesticide tolerance. Increased herbicide use resulting from NGT cultivation in the European Union must be considered. Importantly, the different action pathways to fulfil the objectives of the European Green Deal (34 ) and of the ‘Farm to Fork’ (35 4), Biodiversity (36 5) and Adaptation to Climate Change(37 6) Strategies, to global food security (38 7), the Bioeconomy Strategy (39 8) and to the Union’s strategic autonomy (40 )9), must not undermine one another. _________________ 33 Insights and solutions stemming from EU-funded research and innovation projects on plant breeding strategies may contribute to address detection challenges, ensure traceability and authenticity, and promote innovation in the area of new genomic techniques. More than 1,000 projects were funded under the Seventh Framework Programme and successor Horizon 2020 programme with an investment of over 3 billion Euros.

(14) NGT plants that could also occur naturally or be produced by conventional breeding techniques and their progeny obtained by conventional breeding techniques (‘category 1 NGT plants’) should be treated as plants that have occurred naturally or have been produced by conventional breeding techniques, given that they are equivalent and that their risks are comparable, thereby derogating in full from the Union GMO legislation and GMO related requirements in sectoral legislation. In order to ensure legal certainty, this Regulation should set out the criteriaapproach to ascertain if a NGT plant ismeets the condition of equivalentce to naturally occurring or conventionally bred plants and lay down a procedure for competent authorities to verify and take a decision on the fulfillment of thosapplicable criteria, prior to the release or placing on the market of NGT plants or NGT products. Those criteria should be objective and based on science. They should cover the type and extent of genetic modifications that can be observed in nature or in organisms obtained with conventional breeding techniques and should include thresholds for both size and numbers benchmark of genetic modifications to the genome of NGT plants. Since scientific and technical knowledge evolves rapidly in this area, the Commission should be empowered in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to update these criteria approaches and any applicable criteria for the equivalence verification at least every three years in light of scientific and technical progress as regards the type and extent of genetic modifications that can occur in nature or through conventional breeding. During the development of a NGT plant, genetic material originating from outside the breeders’ gene pool might have been temporarily inserted (transiently or stably in an intermediate plant). In order to verify the NGT status of a plant, information is necessary to show absence of such temporarily inserted sequences from outside the breeders’ gene pool.

(14) NGT plants that could also occur naturally or be produced by conventional breeding techniques and their progeny obtained by conventional breeding techniques (‘category 1and their progeny obtained by conventional breeding techniques (‘category 1 NGT plants’) shall not fall under the scope of the Union GMO legislation and GMO related requirements in sectoral legislation. Nonetheless, NGTs plants’) shoul, obtained bey treated as plants that have occurred naturally or haveargeted mutagenesis or cisgenesis, or a combination thereof, remain genetically modified plants. There is no scientific basis for assimilating NGTs to conventional breen produced by conventional breeding techniques, given that they are equivalent and that their risks are comparable, thereby derogating in full from the Union GMO legislation and GMOding methods, nor products obtained by NGTs to conventional products. The genetic engineering process used to obtain NGT plants and products itself may lead to unintended effects that can entail potential risks. Whether a certain modification or trait could be obtained by other means than genetic engineering does not take away the need to assess and regulated requirements in sectoral legislation NGTs and products obtained by NGTs in accordance with the precautionary principle. In order to ensure legal certainty, this Regulation should set out the criteria to ascertain if a NGT plant is equivalent to naturally occurring or conventionally bredthe risk profile of an NGT plants and lay down a procedure for competent authorities to verify and take a decision on the fulfillment of those criteria, prior to the release or placing on the market of NGT plants or NGT products. Those criteria should be objective and based on science. They should cover the type and extent of genetic modifications that can be observed in nature or in organisms obtained with conventional breeding techniques and should include thresholds for both size and number of genetic modifications to the genome of NGT plants. Since scientific and technical knowledge evolves rapidly in this area, the Commission should be empowered in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to update these criteria in light of scientific and technical progress as regards the type and extent of genetic modifications that can occur in nature or through conventional breedingThe adaptation of these criteria may have significant implications on the scale of the NGT plants and products which may fall under the scope of category 1 or 2 NGT plants and products, and therefore, should be adapted based on an ordinary legislative procedure.

(23b) Organic and conventional operators should have the right and freedom not to use NGTs in their production process and throughout their supply chain. This Regulation shall lay out adequate provisions to ensure the freedom of choice for operators not to use NGT plants and seeds, both category 1 and 2, in their production processes. Any additional financial and legal burden to ensure the GMO and NGT-free status of production should not fall on farmers and operators who do not wish to use NGTs. Economic losses incurred due to the adventitious presence of GMOs shall not fall on NGT-free conventional and organic operators. In most cases of adventitious presence, it is impossible to establish the causes, faults, and therefore responsibilities. Thus, this Regulation shall establish coexistence measures, laying the basis for national liability provisions and compensation funds.

(24) Provision should be made to ensure transparencceability as regards the use of category 1 NGT plant varieties, to ensure that production chains that wish to remain free from NGTs can do so and thereby safeguard consumer trust. Category 1 NGT plants tshat have obtained a category 1 NGT plant status declaration should be listed in a publicly available database. To ensure traceability, transparency and choice for operators, during research and plant breeding, when selling seed to farmersll be subject to the traceability system laid out in Regulation (EC) 1830/2003. Traceability measures are needed throughout the whole supply chain to enable food processors and operators to avoid the accidental or unavoidable adventitious presence of NGTs in their production process. These traceability requirements should facilitate both the withdrawal of products where unforeseen adverse effects on human health, animal health or the environment, including ecosystems, are established, and the targeting orf making plant reproductive material available to third parties in any other way, plant reproductive material of category 1 NGT plants should be labelled as category 1 NGTonitoring to examine potential effects, particularly on the environment. Traceability should also facilitate the implementation of risk management measures in accordance with the precautionary principle.

(37) In order to enable NGT plants to contribute to the sustainability objectives of the Green Deal and the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity Strategies, cultivation of NGT plants in the Union should be facilitated. This requires predictability for breeders and farmers as regards the possibility to cultivate such plants in the Union. Therefore, the possibility for Member States to adopt measures restricting or prohibiting the cultivation of both category 2ies of NGT plants in all or part of their territory, set out in Article 26b of Directive 2001/18/EC would undermine those goals.
