Yesterday in Strasbourg, the European Landowners' Organization' put at the forefront rural concerns in the EP with a lunch reception. The 'Hunting, Biodiversity, Countryside' Intergroup is vital for fostering meaningful dialogue between MEPs and stakeholders. Together with the Forum for the Future of Agriculture, we are advocating for stronger collaboration among agri-food players to support and enhance rural communities. This partnership is essential for promoting sustainable agriculture and preserving biodiversity. 🙏Thanks to everyone who attended! #ruraldevelopment #sustainableagriculture #biodiversity #europeanparliamentevent #collaboration FACE - European Federation for Hunting and Conservation

Statement on EFSA's Scientific Opinion on New Genomic Techniques The European Landowners' Organization (ELO) welcomes the recent scientific opinion delivered by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on New Genomic Techniques (NGTs). EFSA's thorough assessment, concluding that certain types of genetically modified plants derived from NGTs can be considered equivalent to conventional plants with no additional risks, provides the necessary scientific validation to advance regulatory discussions on the NGT file. European farmers are in urgent need of innovative tools to continue providing safe and sustainable food while maintaining their competitive edge in the global market. With other parts of the world already embracing NGTs, it is imperative that Europe follows suit to avoid falling behind. We urge the European Parliament and the Council of the EU to expedite the regulatory process and bring the proposed Regulation to completion. The sooner NGTs are made available, the better equipped our farmers will be to meet the challenges of the future. Jurgen Tack Secretary General
