Dear Manoela
Many thanks for reminding us.

I would like to propose the following set of priority:
  1. Environmental risk assessment and monitoring taking into account human health;
  2. Post-release monitoring and long-term effects of LMOs released into the environment;
  3. “Co-existence” between LMOs and non-LMOs in the context of small scale farming;
  4. Risk assessment of living modified microorganisms and viruses
  5. Risk assessment of living modified pharmaplants;
