This is the most radical change in the regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the EU in the last three decades. The new rules exempt certain NGT plants and their products from investment-choking GMO rules under Directive 2001/18 and lower the risk assessment requirements for certain other NGT plants.
