United Kingdom: UK government publishes Precision Breeding secondary legislation
Two years after the primary Precision Breeding legislation was passed, the UK government has published the secondary legislation needed to implement it. After this Statutory Instrument clears its Parliamentary hurdles, the way should be clear for gene editing techniques to be used to develop improved crop varieties for commercialization, with applications for the first authorizations expected in fall 2025.
