The decision on this deliberate release was made by the Robert Koch
Institute (RKI).
The RKI was the competent national authority for the German Gene
Technology Act before the competences were transferred to the
Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (Bundesamt
für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit, BVL) on April 1st
2004. Deliberate releases that were authorized by the RKI prior to
this date are now handled by the BVL.
