Slutsky

Alena Popova holds a cardboard cut of lawmaker Leonid Slutsky during a protest earlier this month.

Individual member states such as Germany and France have indicated that their domestic law would not view certain applications of gene editing as GMOs, but no official policy is in place, Slutsky said.

Two popular business dailies, Kommersant and Vedomosti, said they would limit their correspondents’ interactions with Slutsky.
