What they argued
INRAE welcomes the European Commissions ambition to deliver a regulatory framework that can fully embrace the entire scope of biotechnology and enable the very significant opportunities embedded within it. We share below (and in the attached paper) our views and recommendations. 1.
IRSTEA (now INRAE) coordinated, with the help of many French public actors at different scales in the territory, an insituous study of the quality of discharges and the maintenance/renewal of parts of more than 200 ANC installations.

INRAE welcomes the ambition of the EC to deliver a Biotech Act II unlocking the full transformative potential of biotechnology. INRAE insists that the Biotech Act II should strengthen the researchinnovation continuum, thus contributing to overcome the three main barriers hindering the EU biotech & biomanufacturing industry: limited market uptake, unpredictable investment, fragmented single market and regulation for…
**1. Recommendations to verify conformity to the definition of Cat. 1 & Cat. 2 NGT plants** The Regulation must define categories 1 and 2 without ambiguity. DNA sequence information required to verify NGT1 status (Articles 6 and 7), and the methods used, should follow unified recommendations and formats set by EFSA and Member State competent authorities.
*INRAE comments the fact that, according to Regulation 2026/1388, the evaluation of NGT2 plants for risk assessment and market access is now performed case by case and is based on the product itself, not on the process used to create such plants.
Considering the importance of a research-technology-innovation confluence in the design process of innovations, the European Strategy on research (RI) and technology (TI) infrastructures should adopt a global perspective to avoid the binary categorisation RI/TI.
The Research and Innovation Strategy for Water Resilience comes at a critical moment, as Europe faces increasing pressures on water resources. It is imperative to accelerate innovation while strengthening scientific knowledge on water resilience, therefore the future strategy should ensure a balanced approach to funding activities at both low and high-TRL.
This action plan has long been awaited and therefore requires substantive reflection. As regards manure management, this plan could also include the carbon cycle. The various existing European policies (and related scientific research) are still too fragmented and applied independently of each other, which does not facilitate their adoption on the ground.
