I thank the witnesses for their very interesting presentations. I must admit that, like Senator Paul Daly, I am not clear on how it all works. I wish to have a few points clarified for my own understanding. Under the ECJ ruling, GMO products are largely banned across the EU but there are some exceptions, of which Spain is the most notable. Where does CRISPR fit in? Is the ruling of the ECJ interpreted and implemented across the EU on an equal basis or are there anomalies, as there are with GMO?
