Abstract
A special liability and compensation regime addressing liability for GMOs and covering the economic damage resulting from GMO admixture in non-GM products has been recently enacted in Italy, but only in the form of general principles that still require detailed implementation and specification at regional and local level. Pending implementation, the cultivation of GM crops is prohibited in Italy, subject to criminal sanctions.
