Yet another bomb is coming from the EU: #GMO deregulation. It includes getting rid of labelling, safety checks, monitoring and more.
It completely ignores science, but is exactly what lobbyists and patent holders want. Because most of us want to know what we eat and have freedom of choice.
This is the final vote. Scheduled to 1&2 June in ENVI and 15 June in EP.
*Let’s let MEPs know that we don’t agree with this.*

@xHire@ipv6.social "GMO deregulation" can be misleading to the reader, and unnecessarily alarming: old GMOs will remain regulated as they are now. The new law being discussed covers products that are modified using so-called New Genomic Techniques (NGT), such as CRISPR/Cas9, which produce tiny changes in the DNA that resemble those occurring in nature. Only a subset of these new products will be "deregulated".
