The legal analysis carried out by the European Commission (EC) on whether or not certain New Plant Breeding Techniques, known as NBTs, fall under the scope of the European GMO legislation is expected to be published during the first half of 2016. The Commission’s legal interpretation will likely impact the use of these technologies in both private and public sectors’ efforts to innovate plant breeding in the EU and globally.
