All About That Risk? A (Re-)Assessment of the CJEU's Reasoning in the “Genome Editing†Case
Der Europäische Gerichtshof hat mit Urteil vom 25.7.2018 (Rs. C‑528/16) entschieden, dass Organismen, deren Erbgut mit Verfahren der sog. ortsspezifischen Mutagenese verändert wurde, dem europäischen Gentechnikrecht unterfallen. Die Entscheidung und ihre Konsequenzen sind seitdem Gegenstand reger Auseinandersetzungen.
The judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) of July 2018 on the regulatory status of genome-edited crops has been debated heatedly throughout the European Union. Many scientists and plant-breeders condemned the judgment as a “backward step†and “hostile to progressâ€. Others criticised the statements of the Court about the risks that genome edited crops allegedly pose to human health and the environment. On the other hand, GMO sceptics welcomed the judgment as upholding the precautionary principle and protecting consumer choice between GMO and non-GMO products.
