Abstract in another language
New plant breeding technologies (NPBTs), including CRISPR geneediting, are being used widely, and they are driving the development of new crops.They are nevertheless a subject of criticism and discussion. According to a summer2018 interpretation by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) applyingan absolute interpretation of the precautionary principle, European Union (EU) lawmakes most NPBTs subject to regulations governing the use of genetically modiedorganisms (GMOs) in the EU. This contribution summarizes the status of the debate and highlights issues that have thus far not been considered—particularly with regard to the implications of EU regulations for NPBTs for countries outside the EU.
