Understanding the Geopolitical Context of the NGT debate in the EU – My-Lien Bosch

NCC Ost | Level 2 | Room Kiew

With its current regulatory framework, the EU is still standing as one for strict consumer labelling, traceability, and biosafety standards.

This session will shine light on these complexities and explain the implications of these especially for organic trade markets.
