The proposed Biotech Act recognises biotechnology as a strategic driver of EU competitiveness and economic security. CropLife Europe welcomes the provisions linked to the General Food Law that expand EFSA pre-submission advice to cover scientific aspects, fostering more effective dialogue and greater regulatory clarity for applicants.

What they argued
CropLife Europe supports the objective of the European Biotech Act to strengthen the EUs global competitiveness in biotechnology. We believe the Act must address the major regulatory and perception barriers that limit the potential of agricultural biotechnology to contribute to EU food security, sustainability, and innovation.
Biotechnology is a strategic asset for EU competitiveness and economic security.

The Commissions ambition to strengthen the conditions for innovation within the EU must recognise agriculture as a strategic sector. Representing 25 companies and 32 national associations, our members develop pesticides, biopesticides, digital and precision agriculture tools and innovative crop traits using biotechnology.
