The EU makes new rules for gene technology

94

The EU parliament made new rules. It is about gene technology in plants. Some food needs no label soon. The Kenn-zeichnung in stores goes away. This is for plants with small changes.

These rules start in 2028. Experts change the Erb-Gut of plants. They use Gen-Scheren for this. These plants grow better. They help against heat. Many experts like this choice.

There is also much critique. Critics want freedom of choice. They want to know what is in food. Farmers worry about their work. Bio farms do not use gene technology. Seeds still need a label.
