testbiotechIn addition to the #deregulation of plants derived from #newgeneticengineering (#NGTs), the @EUCommission is already planning to lower the #safetystandards for #geneticallyengineered microorganisms (#GMMOs).
JOIN IN: Remind our representatives in the @europarl_en of their responsibilities!
In the #competition for #innovation and ‚#progress‘, disruptive technologies are being promoted. The problem is: The disruptions caused by #newgeneticengineering (#NGTs) can endanger our #livelihoods and native #biodiversity.
Inform your representatives why the deregulation of new #geneticengineering must be rejected.
The @europarl_en 's Committee on the Environment votes in favour of deregulating #newgeneticengineering:
With the planned deregulation, the #EU is about to hand over its responsibilities for the safe use of the new technologies to free market forces…

Using #newgeneticengineering (#NGTs] to manipulate plant flowers so that they can be pollinated by robots?
This is just one of many examples of attempts to genetically modify plant flowers...

Media about #newgeneticengineering in plants:
Lots of opportunities and no risks?
How did such one-sidedness come about in public media discourse? We took a closer look at the coverage in @spiegel over the last few years...

The plan for #deregulation of plants derived from new #geneticengineering violates international law.

#GeneticEngineering: Scientists from the Society for Ecology (GFÖ) call for wild plants and #ecosystems to be protected from the risks of #newgeneticengineering #NewGE #NGTs.

Do not deregulate New Genomic Techniques (NGT) for wild plants!
The EU could soon approve a new legislation that facilitates unregulated application of New Genomic Techniques to all plant species - including all wild plants. Sign the petition to protect our natural genetic resources in an era of mass extinction!
#geneticallyengineered animals: According to the European Food Safety Authority @[email protected] there are no new risks associated with the use of #newgeneticengineering techniques (#NGT).
In contrast, a fullness of scientific publications show that #CRISPR & Co. are likely to result in specific risks and additional animal suffering.
#NewGeneticEngineering, #ArtificialIntelligence & #OutdoorGeneticEngineering:
Largely unnoticed by the general public, a new turning point in history is currently looming. If we are too careless with these powerful technologies, we could endanger our own survival.

First approval for plants derived from #newgeneticengineering in the EU: the maize is toxic to insects, produces artificial RNA and is resistant to the herbicide #glufosinate, which is banned in the EU.
