What they argued
Authorisation of new breeding techniques is a historic breakthrough for innovation and sustainability in agriculture. The European regulation on new breeding techniques (NGTs) has been published. This will finally make it possible for European plant breeders to start using these techniques.

Opening of the attached position paper · the full paper is on the Commission’s record (source link above)
LTO Nederland is the Dutch Agriculture and Horticulture Organisation, which represents more than 30.000 Dutch farmers and horticulturists. LTO The Netherlands shares the importance of a clear European path towards climate neutrality by 2050. The inclusion of a binding EU target for 2040 in the Climate Law contributes to predictability for entrepreneurs, citizens and public authorities.

LTO NEDERLAND supports the feedback of COPA. LTO remains supportive of the EU legislative against unfair trading practices in agrofood and the ornamental sector (live plants). Although in the Netherlands, the ACM and De Geschillencommissie have received limited reponse and complaints so far, LTO believes the new legislation has helped to define to operators what is and what isn't 'unfair'.
We welcome the opportunity to comment on the draft update of the list of invasive alien species (IAS) of Union concern. On behalf of LTO Nederland, the Dutch Organisation of Agriculture and Horticulture and Glastuinbouw Nederland, the Dutch Organisation of Greenhouse Horticulture, we will give our response. Enclosed you will find our feedback
- We need data that meet requirements of our operators. For example: usage of crop protection products needs to be registered in kg active ingredient. But for biological crop protection products, e.g. natural enemies, this needs to be measured differently. But it is important to also measure these sustainable alternatives to provide a full picture.
The current Community regime for plant passports sets out the situations in which plant products must be physically accompanied by such passports. There are now (general) situations where products do not need to be foreseen. The latter is also the subject of the present draft legislation.
