Brussels, 19 December 2025 - In today’s COREPER meeting, a majority of EU Member States have approved the provisional trilogue agreement on the deregulation of plant GMOs obtained by new genomic techniques (GMOs-NGTs). It ignores farmers’ and small and medium-sized seed producers’ concerns on patents, farmers’ rights on seeds, the protection of organic and GMO-free sectors, consumers' right to information, and the risks for human health and the environment. A group of 8 countries (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia) have recognized those legitimate concerns and did not support this dangerous text.
