Dear BBP members

We already announced in our latest flashes that the Flemish competent authority has announced procedural changes in the notification procedure for contained use of GMOs and/or pathogens in the Flemish Region, starting from March 1^st 2025. To clarify these changes and address questions, an online info session will be held on February 11^th 2025 (10-12h) by ‘Departement Omgeving’.

You can now register via this link until February 4^th 2025: https://omgeving.vlaanderen.be/nl/decreten-en-uitvoeringsbesluiten/vlarem/infosessie-procedurewijzigingen-ingeperkt-gebruik-in-het-vlaams-gewest-11-februari-2025-online.

Via this link you can also send questions. If you want to submit questions but don’t feel comfortable to submit them in your own name you can also send your questions to the BBP steering team before January 30^th 2025: bbp.steeringteam@ebsaweb.eu

 We will then gather all questions and submit them in name of BBP

 Kind regards

The BBP steering team
