☆ EU Parliament's Environmental Committee Supports Relaxing Rules on Genetically Modified Plants

BRUSSELS (AP) — Lawmakers on the European Parliament’s environment committee on Wednesday backed a proposal to relax rules on genetically modified plants produced using so-called new genomic techniques, prompting strong criticism from environmental groups. But lawmakers agreed Wednesday to create two different categories and two sets of rules for genetically modified plants produced using NGTs. Those considered equivalent to traditional crops would be exempt from GMO legislation, but other NGT plants would have to follow current requirements. The committee agreed that all NGT plants should remain prohibited in organic production. It aims to ensure that what is developed does not breach EU citizens’ rights to health and environmental protection.”

Savannah Resources, which has set up two offices in the municipality, has said it would strictly avoid that and instead build reservoirs to store rain water. That view is echoed by Savannah Resources.

BRUSSELS, Oct 24 (Reuters) - The European Union is aiming to clinch deals on three new laws to fight climate change in time for the annual United Nations climate negotiations next month, in a bid to boost its political clout at the talks. But two weeks away from the COP27 summit in Egypt, only around two dozen countries have done so.

"The EU has to be the bridge builder and you can only build bridges if you are seen as ambitious yourself," EU climate policy chief Frans Timmermans said on Monday. Ville Niinisto, Parliament's negotiator on the law, said having a deal before COP27 would show the EU "will do more than we promised".
