Hungary: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Maintaining Hungary’s GE-free status remains a government priority. Although the country’s scientific and breeding institutions were supportive of genome editing, the EC’s legislative proposal on NGTs was caught in a political crossfire in October 2023. Hungary’s National Assembly launched a campaign against the EC’s “stealth” legislation. The incumbent Hungarian EU Presidency is also trying to reopen discussions on NGTs and find a way out of the deadlock situation.
