A new Joint EPTA project on "Genetically modified plants and foods" was approved by the EPTA Council in autumn last year. A first project meeting took place on 14th and 15th December 2006 in Bonn, Germany.

The project's objective is to provide information in the context of genetically modified plants and foods on

regulatory challenges for the European system in the next years,
points of public debate in the future,
approaches for TA to handle the future issues.
