'' EU-SAGE: the role of scientists in the European Union policy making ''

On 5 July 2023 the European Commission (EC) published its legislative proposal on plants derived from new genomic techniques (NGTs) to enable the potential of genome editing for crop improvement to contribute to sustainable food systems. The EC legal proposal on NGTs could have a considerable impact on the European plant research and breeding sector, seed companies, farmers, and vegetable growers. The EU is now at a critical juncture to choose which innovative technologies will be available to help farmers to meet the challenges of climate change, to improve sustainability, and to protect biodiversity while leaving no one behind. The upcoming policy decisions in Europe will determine how genome editing in plant breeding can contribute to the green transition.
