, The ruling not only assesses the technical aspects of GEOs, it also defines and constitutes them as a very specific kind of object: an object that, in Europe, requires regulatory oversight. Whether one agrees with this ruling or not, further debates about the entanglement -and disentanglement -between the law and technology are to be expected
