Amendment 363 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 48 a (new)
(48a) Although not covered by the scope of this Regulation, it is crucially important that the framework for intellectual property rights for plants, whether obtained through NGTs or classical breeding, is fit for purpose. To that end, the Commission should put forward a study to evaluate the effects of patenting plants on advancements in plant breeding, the influence of patents on breeders' accessibility to genetic resources and methods, the availability of seeds for farmers and the EU's competitiveness in the field of plant biotechnology. Findings from this study shall be delivered by December 2026 and shall, where appropriate, be accompanied by a legislative proposal.

Article 6 – paragraph 7
7. The other Member States and the Commission may make commentreasoned objections to the verification report within 20 days from the date of receipt of that report regard to the fulfilment of the criteria set out in Annex I, within 20 days from the date of receipt of that report.

Amendment 598 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 6 – paragraph 10
10. The Commission, after having consulted the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’), shall prepare a draft decision declaring whether the NGT plant is a category 1 NGT plant within 45 working days from the date of receipt of the commentreasoned objection(s), taking the latter into account. The decision shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 28(2).

Article 14 – paragraph 1 – point l
(l) methods for sampling (including references to existing official or standardised sampling methods), detection, identification and quantification of the NGT plant. In cases where it is not feasible to provide an analytical method that detects, identifies and quantifies, if duly justified by the notifier, the modalities to comply with analytical method requirements shall be adapted as specified in the implementing act adopted in accordance with Article 27, point (e) and the guidance referred to in Article 29(2)plant should be considered as category 1 NGT plant in accordance with Article 3(7)(c) of this Regulation;
