Hungary is one of the strongest opponents of transgenic engineering in the European Union. Maintaining the country’s GE-free status is still a government priority. However, Hungary’s scientific and agricultural organizations and breeding and research institutions are speaking out in support of non-transgenic genome editing. In the case of an enabling legislative environment in the EU, the country would be open to adopting innovative biotechnologies.

Since 2006, Hungary has been one of the strongest opponents of agricultural biotechnology in the European Union.
