3.2.4. Compatibility with the current multiannual financial framework

The proposal/initiative:

-  can be fully financed through redeployment within the relevant heading of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF).

The increase of appropriations for EFSA budget line 06 10 02 European Food Safety Authority in years 2025 to 2027 by 2,3 million EUR, will be covered from the unallocated margin under Heading 2b. To preserve the neutrality of this proposal towards the EU budget, an equal reduction of the SMP Food chain budget line 03 02 06 will be applied, resulting in an increase of the Heading 1 margin by the same amount. The required financing of 0,100 million EUR under the line 03 02 06 - Contributing to a high level of health and welfare for humans, animals and plants will be covered by internal redeployment.

-  requires use of the unallocated margin under the relevant heading of the MFF and/or use of the special instruments as defined in the MFF Regulation.

- As a consequence of the budgetary mechanism described above, the unallocated margin of Heading 2b will decrease by EUR 2,3 million over the years 2025-2027 while the unalocated margin of Heading 1 will increase by the same amount.◻ requires a revision of the MFF.

Explain what is required, specifying the headings and budget lines concerned and the corresponding amounts.

3.2.5. Third-party contributions

0An umbrella term used to describe a variety of techniques that can alter the genetic material of an organism and that have emerged or have been developed since 2001, when the Union legislation on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) was adopted.

0Genetic modification techniques developed prior to 2001, when the Union GMO legislation was adopted.

0An umbrella term used to describe newer techniques of mutagenesis that induce mutation(s) in selected target locations of the genome without insertion of foreign genetic material

0Insertion of genetic material (e.g. a gene) into a recipient organism from a donor that is sexually compatible (crossable). The exogenous genetic material can be introduced without (cisgenesis) or with modifications/rearrangements (intragenesis).

0Crossable means that there are no natural barriers to the interbreeding of two plants from the same or different species.
