Summary/Abstract: The scope of this article is to present the fundamental review of European Union legislation in reference to the implementation of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in cultivation. The research described in this article covers the analysis of EU directives in recent years and general policy regarding the application of GMOs. This analysis aims to isolate and understand the direction in which legislative works are headed in agriculture development. The overall analysis of European Union legislation reveals that it is somewhat reluctant when it comes to applying GMO technology, even though the global research has shown many positive effects that it could have on agriculture. When analyzed, the situation of law and GMOs seems to be stagnant for a long time.
