Dear Member of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety,  

On the 24th of January, you are invited to vote on the Proposal for a Regulation on plants obtained by new genomic techniques (NGT) and their food and feed in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety. With this letter PAN Europe would like to share its deep concerns about the current proposal and many of the amendments tabled so far, which contain extensive shortcomings. They will in their current form inevitably lead to unacceptable risks for human health and the environment. They would also have far-reaching negative impacts on rights of farmers, producers, retailers, consumers and public authorities.
