Sažetak
At the EU level in 2001, a comprehensive legislative framework was adopted regulating the issue of genetically modified organisms. The adoption of the Directive 2001/18/EC established a transparent system for the authorization of genetically modified organisms based on risk assessments and a standardized approach to the control and monitoring of products obtained by recombinant DNA techniques. In 2018, the European Court of Justice ruled out that organisms obtained by new mutagenesis techniques, genome editing such as the CRISPR/Cas9 technique, are genetically modified organisms and therefore fall under Directive 2001/18 /EC. The court’s decision has raised many questions and concerns about the applicability of existing legislation regarding new methods. The existing legislative framework was adopted long before methods such as: mutagenesis, cisgenesis, intragenesis, transgenesis and epigenetic changes are in application. Products obtained by new techniques in comparison with random multiple mutations caused by conventional mutagenesis techniques or insertion of new genes created by recombinant DNA methods contain extremely precise changes in the sequence, often one to two base pairs, which is a great challenge for the current approach of monitoring of genetically modified organisms. In addition, many mutants created by new techniques will not be able to differ from those created by natural mutation processes and those created by conventional agriculture, and at the moment plant genome variability is not nearly documented, which poses additional challenges in identifying and monitoring these products. This calls into question the applicability of existing guidelines for the placing on the market of genetically modified organisms, risk assessment methodologies, and control and monitoring of products obtained by new genomic techniques, and points to the need for revising existing EU legislation.
