The article analyzes the potential effects of a generalized implementation of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety's proposed stringent information requirements on member countries of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). This rule would require all traded shipments containing living modified organisms intended for food, feed, or processing to carry a label with the list of precise genetically modified (GM) events in the shipments. The authors find that the benefits of such requirements are largely debatable and that this regulation would add significant implementation costs for importers of GM crops, for Protocol members adopting new GM crops, and for countries ratifying the Protocol.
