Abstract
With the advent of new technologies for gene editing and genetic manipulation, it becomes increasingly clear that the EU's legislation of agricultural biotechnologies is hopelessly out of date. A more rational regulatory system for GM crops should be based on the features of the product, instead of the process of engineering it.Keywords
