Joint statement on the deregulation of new GMOs

Dereg­u­lat­ing new GMOs will cause prob­lems for farm­ers and breed­ers. These prob­lems include biopira­cy, increased risk of law­suits against farm­ers and breed­ers, admin­is­tra­tive bur­den due to legal uncer­tain­ty, increased pro­duc­tion costs, risk of los­ing their busi­ness, reduced seed vari­ety — which is need­ed by farm­ers to adapt to the effects of cli­mate change — and increased vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty to pests and dis­eases.
