UEAA Position Paper on the new EU Forest Strategy for 2030
Forest strategy and forest management practices: to achieve optimal balance between the conflicting demands will be crucial to find compromise solutions that can unite the different stakeholders. Prior to any decision, the UEAA strongly recommends broad scientific discussions and evaluations of scientific findings e.g. between scientists within the different regions, before changes in current management practices are requested.

Position Paper: Gene editing and new eu regulations urgently needed
The U E A A (Union Européenne des Académies d’Agriculture, www.ueaa.info) claims that the Directive 2001/18 / EC has become unsuitable due to advances in scientific knowledge and recent technical advances such as genome editing and hence urges the E U Governance to review and adjust the European regulations on GMO’s to recent scientific progress.
