BRYOMOLECULES - D6.4 Policy brief 1

In this deliverable we present a preliminary policy brief outlining the policy implications directly
related to BRYOMOLECULES implementation and expected outcomes. These implications are
presented under different contextual groups, covering the current regulatory frameworks for the
production of bioactive molecules from engineered species, the EU plans and goals for
biodiversity conservation and circular economy implementation, as well as social and
consumers acceptances of biotechnology-based products.
This first policy brief has the role of providing short summaries for the policymakers in the fields
of biodiversity, bryophyte conservation and the environmental sustainability of circular economy
and biotechnology-based metabolic engineering processes for added-value secondary
metabolite production. A final policy brief will be produced at the end of the project (M36) drawing
from the project outcomes generated and translating them into actionable policy
recommendations. The final policy brief will provide a comprehensive overview of the policy
implications associated to BRYOMOLECULES outputs and a set of recommendations for the
policymakers.
