The Dutch Cabinet has discussed on 10 April 2014 its newly formulated
biotech policy with the Dutch Parliament, presenting a 13-page paper. The
document defines the Government's standpoint towards plant and animal
biotechnology, and is a response to five requests of the Parliament on the
transparency and procedures of the approval process for genetically modified
organisms (GMOs).

In the policy paper, the Cabinet states that the application of
biotechnology in agriculture creates added value and can benefit global food
security and sustainability of food production, but only if the risks are
negligible. In general, they favor the use of biotechnology in plants, but
oppose it in animals.
