It creates the conditions for developing improved crop varieties that can help address key challenges facing European agriculture, including climate change, increasing pressure from weeds, pests and diseases, improved resource efficiency and long-term food security.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>By enabling the responsible use of NGTs, the Regulation supports a more resilient and sustainable agricultural sector and helps ensure that European farmers and breeders can access innovative tools that are already being used in many parts of the world.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coalition also acknowledges the long journey leading to this moment, with work on this file spanning more than eight years under complex and often challenging circumstances. This collective effort has been essential in reaching today’s outcome.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this decision, the European Union takes an important step forward in supporting innovation in plant breeding and strengthening its ambition for a sustainable, competitive and resilient agri-food sector.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coalition looks forward to the timely implementation of the Regulation and remains committed to supporting its effective rollout across Europe.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\"
