Romania: Biotechnology and Other New Production Technologies Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   RO2025-0006
Romania, a member of the European Union (EU), observes the EU’s standards and regulations regarding biotechnology. Most farmers view biotechnology as an instrument in managing the agronomic risks and sustaining their competitiveness. However, in its interactions with EU institutions, Romania has a nuanced position regarding the proposed legislation on plants obtained by certain new genomic techniques. Romania allows biotech field trials, but trials are limited to genetically engineered (GE) plum trees. This report provides updated information on the status of biotechnology in Romania and should be read in conjunction with the EU-27 Agricultural Biotechnology Annual report.
