Information on the content of the resource
Author abstract: The proposed document contains all the elements of a code of conduct for the release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into the environment. It aims to set forth the minimum acceptable components necessary for international co-operation. While not calling for a change in national regulatory provisions, it is intended as a general model that could be adopted in countries that have no regulations at present. Aiming to draw on existing experiences rather than to frame new principles, it contains a list of selected reference documents in an annex (not included, see Library section).
