Webinar: "The last exit before NGT & GMM are getting out of control?"

11 June 2026. The future of our biodiversity is at risk: Two proposals to lower environmental safety standards for genetically engineered organisms would allow far-reaching interventions in both plants and microorganisms. In this webinar, biosafety experts are calling on political decision-makers to carefully consider the entailing environmental risks. Part I: Plants derived from new genomic techniques (NGT) Andreas Bauer-Panskus, Testbiotech: What went wrong with EFSA’s opinions? Insight into a recent letter exchange between EFSA and Testbiotech (0:03:11). Christoph Then, Testbiotech: A new dimension in NGTs – ‘Hypermorphing’, small changes, big impact (0:15:20). Franziska Koller, Project Genetic Engineering and the Environment (FGU): An outlook: Potential impacts of NGT crops on pollinators in case of long-term and large-scale cultivation (0:25:41). Part II: Microorganisms derived from new genomic techniques Matthias Juhas, Testbiotech: Risk assessment of NGT microbes – a case study (0:41:45).
