Voluntary Code of Conduct for the Release of Organisms into the Environment (Jul 1991)

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 pr ...

Possible roles of endogenous plant viral sequences and transgenes containing viral sequences in both virus resistance and virus emergence (2007)

This editorial discusses the first in a series of six Biosafenet Seminars (one of the communication tools of the EC-funded Biosafenet project) that will be held 2007–2009. The first Seminar was organized by the ICGEB at the MasterCampus of the Fondazione Cassamarca in Ca’ Tron di Roncade (Italy) on 6th–8th June 2007, and focused on the potential impact of both naturally occurring and transgenic viral sequences in plant genomes.

Saint Lucia Document Concerning the Safety Assessment for Foods and Animal Feeds Derived from Genetically Modified Insect-Resistant Maize MON810 (Sep 2018)

The document uses an approach for food/feed safety assessment that is consistent with CODEX and is based on scientific data that is publicly available and has been thoroughly evaluated by several countries, including Australia/New Zealand, Canada, the European Union, and the United States. The focus of the assessment is whether there are any significant differences between the GM crop variety and conventional varieties of the same crop that would raise significant food safety concerns.

What are the non-food impacts of GM crop cultivation on farmers’ health? (2014)

Abstract Background: With a steady increase in the area cultivated with genetically modified (GM) crops, the impacts of GM crop cultivation are coming under closer scrutiny around the world. The impacts on humans usually refer to possible risks to health occurring as a result of the GM food consumption. Other concerns, such as the claims of human health benefits arising from the cultivation of GM crops via reduced use of pesticides could be considered, if at all, under economic impacts of the te ...

Introduction to the Safety/Risk Assessment of GM Crops (2007)

Author's Abstract: Using the tools of modern biotechnology to create genetically modified (GM) crops constitutes a real revolution in plant breeding. These techniques and products are generally regarded as highly novel, and hence require careful evaluation before commercial use. There is a worldwide consensus that this evaluation must be firmly grounded on empirically based scientific risk/safety assessment. This review describes risk assessment, focuses on its role in the decision-making proces ...

Evaluation of potential risks associated with recombination in transgenic plants expressing viral sequences (2008)

Abstract: Virus-resistant transgenic plants have been created primarily through the expression of viral sequences. It has been hypothesized that recombination between the viral transgene mRNA and the RNA of an infecting virus could generate novel viruses. As mRNA/viral RNA recombination can occur in virus-resistant transgenic plants, the key to testing this risk hypothesis is to compare the populations of recombinant viruses generated in transgenic and non-transgenic plants. This has been done w ...

Key elements in a strategic approach to capacity building in the biosafety of genetically modified organisms (2010)

Abstract: In recent times, it has become imperative for countries to define and implement policy in biosafety due to the widespread adoption of genetically modified crops. As such, countries wishing to utilise transgenic technologies in the development of advanced agricultural products must have regulations in place coupled with trained personnel in national competent authorities able to contribute effectively to the decision-making process. Capacity building initiatives play an important role i ...
