[DIYbio] Human enhancement

Hi. A hypothetical question: 

In Europe it is totally illegal to take any harmless gene from one species into another. However, what if you just delete a gene (say myostatin cut-out by crispr)? The resulting animal would be not-transgenic. So in theory it *is* legal to engineer feedstock or even humans with this? 

Note, I'm not interested in doing that myself*. Just wondering. 
*On the other hand, if it's legal and someone rich pays me a lot to do so, we can talk :P
