Another Protocol provision that calls for a risk assessment is Article 11 on LMOs for direct use as food, feed, or for processing.


According to article 11 of the Protocol, a Party that takes a decision regarding an LMO that may be subject to transboundary movement for direct use as food, feed, or for processing shall submit to the BCH information specified in Annex II of the Protocol, within fifteen days. This information includes, among other things, the name and identity of the LMO and its approved uses, as well as a risk assessment report consistent with Annex III of the Protocol (see Article 11.1).
