<h3><b>Joint Statement on the Genetic Technologies (Precision Breeding)
Bill</b></h3><br><br>
<i>UK civil society urges MPs to understand the implications of
deregulation and revise the bill to ensure the interests of farmers,
businesses and citizens are protected<br>
</i><br>
<b>29 groups and individuals representing a broad range of food, farming,
animal welfare, human health, environmental, academic, ethical and
spiritual interests make the following statement:<br>
</b><br>
“On Tuesday, 14 June, the bill to deregulate most genetic engineering
technologies in farming and food will have its second reading in the
House of Commons. This bill represents a significant change in the law
and has huge implications for farming, food, animal welfare, the
environment, the UK's internal market and its trading relationships with
key global markets. It is clear that, in its haste to deregulate, the
Government has not adequately considered these implications.<br><br>
“Crucially, the bill proposes to remove all requirements of
traceability, including labelling, from these technologies. If it passes
in its current form, no-oneincluding farmers, businesses and
citizenswill be be able to exercise the right to choose whether or not
to use, purchase or consume the products of these technologies. All
surveys, polls and consultations show that people and businesses in the
UK whether or noot they are supportive of agricultural genetic
technologiesbelievee these technologies and their products should be
regulated, traceable and labelled.<br><br>
“Denying the right to choose undermines trust in the food system and in
innovation and technology. We are concerned that too few MPs have grasped
the full implications of the bill and that, as a result, it could pass
into law without the full debate and major revisions it requires. We urge
our parliamentarians to take steps to prevent this from
happening.”<br><br>
