Edited and Modified?

The highest EU court has ruled that gene-edited organisms (using the CRISP-R technique) are essentially genetically-modified (GM) foods (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/jul/25/gene-editing-is-gm-europes-highest-court-rules). The basic difference, of course, is that whereas gene-editing is simply used to cut 'undesirable' genes out of genotypes, GM involves inserting gene sequences from other organisms (with attributes one wants to express) into the host. Presumably, the ruling only applies to 'food' and not to manipulations for medical purposes (an area the public in Europe seem much more relaxed about) but there really is a fine line between pork products and porcine organs modified for insertion into sick humans. The ruling makes a real difference as GM foods are nominally banned in the EU whereas the CRISP-R technique was a 'grey area'.
