Amendment 45 #
Proposal for a regulation - amending act
Recital 8 b (new)
(8b) New genetic risk assessment testing techniques have ruled out the possibility of horizontal gene transfer from plants or animals to humans, thereby providing scientific proof that agricultural species are not susceptible to genetic invasion and offering a guarantee of food security. The scientific explanation for these findings lies in the fact that all known digestive systems are designed specifically to denature bipolymers (fats, proteins, nucleic acids and carbohydrates) into monomers (fatty acids, amino acids, nucleotides and sugars, respectively), for use by the organism.
