I would like further clarification. I am going back to category 1 and category 2. Category 1 is where there can be up to 20 interventions. If we accept that, could we reach a time where a crop would evolve from category 1 to category 2 and if the laws change, it would then become GMO? Am I reading that incorrectly?

When this final draft comes to us or whoever and it is passed at a European level, what element of subsidiarity will there be? Do we have to go with what comes? Do we have to accept it all or will there be elements where we can differ from what has been recommended and decide not to go with the changes? It could be along the lines of the issues in the hemp industry where we are not up to speed with European law or European guidelines when it comes to hemp.
