GMO regulation in Ukraine: Why EU practice is closer to ours
What is behind the new bill on GMO regulation in Ukraine?
Susana Grygorenko
Executive Director, Seed Association of Ukraine
The GMO sector in Ukraine requires comprehensive reform. Currently, there is no system of control over GMOs, and the rules for handling them are formal, leading to large ‘grey markets’ for GM products.
We don't always know what we are consuming, even when products are labelled GMO-free.
In addition, despite the ongoing war in Ukraine, we are striving to develop and integrate into the European Union. To do this, we need to put our legislation in order and harmonise it with the European one, including the GMO sector.
