RemovedRecital 1: (1) Since 2001, when Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (32), on the deliberate release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into the environment was adopted, significant progress in biotechnology has led to the development of new genomic techniques (NGTs), most prominently genome editing techniques that enable changes to be made to the genome at precise locations. Major advances in genetic engineering have already contributed to the widespread use of marker-assisted selection, which makes it possible to identify and mobilise interesting genes that are present in biodiversity.
