Genetically-engineered (GE) products are highly politicized in Germany. As the EU takes gradual steps towards potentially liberalizing NGTs, German public debate is beginning to shift from a general rejection of GE towards discussion regarding possible liberalization of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs).

There are no genetically engineered products imported or commercialized in Tanzania. However, applied biotechnology is used for medicine and public health.
