The 2017 Fidenato case is the first legal dispute on the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) decided by the Court of Justice of the European Union after the adoption of Directive 2015/412. The Directive allows for the exclusion of genetically modified cultivation from a national territory on grounds unrelated to scientific uncertainty. As in the 2007 Austrian case, in Fidenato the Court of Justice rejected the precautionary request from Italy to ban the cultivation of GMOs. The ruling centres on the argument of a ban being scientifically unfounded. This article discusses how the lack of harmonization between the European jurisprudence on the cultivation of GMOs and recent normative amendments introduced through the 2015 Directive affects the regulatory autonomy of Member States in adopting measures that ensure the protection of human health and the environment (i.e. biosafety) from the potential harmful effects posed by GMOs.

2017年Fidenato案和2015年指令：欧洲转基因生物的奇怪案例

2017年的Fidenato案是欧盟法院在通过第2015/412号指令后决定的关于转基因生物（GMO）种植的首个法律纠纷。该指令允许以与科学不确定性无关的理由从国家领土上排除转基因种植。与2007年奥地利案一样，在Fidenato法院驳回了意大利关于禁止种植转基因生物的预防性要求。该裁决的重点是关于一项禁令的论点在科学上是没有根据的。本文讨论了欧洲关于转基因生物种植的判例与最近通过2015年指令引入的规范性修正案之间的不协调如何影响成员国采取确保保护人类健康和环境（即生物安全）的措施的监管自主权转基因生物可能造成的有害影响。
