On March 30, 2017, following a request for a preliminary ruling from the Italian District Court ofUdine, the advocate general at the European Court of Justice (CJEU) Michal Bobek proposed the CJEU conclude that member states can adopt emergency measures concerning genetically modified food and feed only if they can establish, in addition to urgency, the existence of a situation which is likely to constitute a clear and serious risk for human, animal health, and the environment, as set out in Art. 34 of EU Regulation No. 2003/1829 on genetically modified food or feed. The CJEU Judges are now beginning their deliberations in this case. Judgment will be given at a later date.
