Joint Statement on Coordinated Framework for Regulation of Biotechnology

Joint Statement on Coordinated Framework for Regulation of Biotechnology

On November 4, NAEGA along with the Corn Refiners Association (CRA), National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA), National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA), and North American Millers’ Association (NAMA) signed a joint statement to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy regarding the clarification of current roles and responsibilities described in the Coordinated Framework for the Regulation of Biotechnology. The letter raises issues related to the marketability and current lack of international regulatory coherence regarding the premarket regulatory review of crops produced through modern biotechnology, and the negative impact those factors have in facilitating access to U.S. crops.

 

A copy of the letter is available here. For more information, please contact Gary or Ryan.
