Testbiotech comment on assessment of genetically modified soybean DBN9004 (application EFSA-GMO-BE-2019-165) by Beijing DaBeiNong Biotechnology
TESTBIOTECH Background 07 - 08 -2025
Soybean DBN9004 contains genes conferring resistance to two groups of herbicides: In its opinion, EFSA comes to the conclusion that “soybean DBN9004 is as safe as the conventional counterpart and non-GM soybean varieties tested” (EFSA, 2025a).
Why plants obtained from new genetic engineering should not be deregulated
The EU Commission is currently planning extensive deregulation of plants obtained from new genetic engineering (or new genomic techniques, NGTs). This briefing explains why the proposal should be rejected.
Warum Pflanzen aus Neuer Gentechnik nicht dereguliert werden dürfen
Derzeit plant die EU-Kommission eine weitreichende Deregulierung von Pflanzen, die mithilfe von Neuer Gentechnik (oder neuen genomischen Techniken, NGTs) hergestellt wurden. Dieses Briefing erklärt, warum ein solcher Schritt abzulehnen ist.
