Overall environmental risk and human health risk when growing a transgenic rapeseed line for technical purposes is assessed as “medium”, subject to the following conditions: the guidelines for growing a transgenic line should be developed and strictly observed, which should contain measures that prevent the spread of GM-line. Instructions for its placement, harvesting, transportation and storage should be developed and strictly observed.
EN
The instructions for storing the GM line should clearly state the conditions that prevent its mixing with non-transgenic rape varieties. The distance from the hives of each of the GM-rape field`s edges should be at least 2.5 km. The monitoring method - RT-PCR to the target gene must be approved and applied.
EN
The risk of contamination of Belarusian varieties of non-transgenic rapeseed with a transgenic line under large-scale growing conditions is assessed as "highly probable." This can have certain socio-economic consequences.

Following a meeting of the Expert Council on the Safety of Genetic Engineering Organisms of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Belarus, a decision was made on the inadmissibility of using the transgenic line for economic purposes. The decision is based on the conclusion of an expert risk assessment and discussions of the members of the Expert Council, which took into account the fact that fulfilling the requirements that impede the clogging of traditional food-grade breeding Belarusian varieties with the transgenic line for technical purposes is practically impossible https://bch.cbd.int/en/database/DEC/BCH-DEC-BY-261473-1.
