COREPER supports the trilogue deal

News 19/12/2025

“Today’s outcome in COREPER confirms a deeply flawed political deal that would effectively deregulate the vast majority of New GMOs in the EU. By abandoning risk assessment, labelling and traceability for category 1 NGTs, the agreement undermines the precautionary principle and deprives farmers, the food sector and consumers of the right to know and to choose. At the same time, it opens the door to an expansion of patents on plants, threatening farmers and small and medium-sized breeders and the resilience of the European food system.”

“We now call on the European Parliament to take its responsibility seriously and reject this proposal. Parliament still has the opportunity to stand up for transparency, consumer trust and a food system that can remain genuinely Non-GMO. Citizens want to know what is in their food, and the food sector must retain the right to produce Non-GMO under fair conditions. Not the alternative: a system which only benefits a few large biotech companies."
