Although the regulation of transgenic is loose, its effect remains to be observed

Lead: the U.S agricultural network reported that China's Ministry of agriculture on Monday announced Interim Measures for genetically modified regulations in farmers' daily, which are mostly the same as what U.S officials revealed last week As long as the exporter provides the safety certificate issued by the country of origin or a third country, China will provide a temporary safety certificate within 30 days The interim agreement will be in force by December 20 But in the past, it was widely spread in the market that the approval time of safety certificate was shortened from 270 days to 30 days, which obviously did not come true This provision remains in force, except that the provisional measures allow importers to continue trading while waiting for approval Farmers Daily reported that foreign exporters can immediately start to apply for GM safety certificates to GM safety management office, and China will approve or disapprove these applications according to the rules and regulations of GM regulations that came into effect on March 20 and new measures recently promulgated However, according to the information obtained at present, the 270 day approval time is still valid, but by issuing temporary certificates, the trade will not be disturbed or interrupted within the 270 day waiting time According to the interim certificate issued by the Ministry of agriculture, the importer needs to mark the genetically modified products correctly It's not clear whether China's report will give U.S exporters and Chinese importers confidence in a new deal to buy U.S soybeans Last week, industry insiders were still worried that there might be two versions of the agreement between China and the United States, and that China's explanation might be different from what U.S officials said last Thursday At present, it seems that we need to focus on when China will resume importing American soybeans (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
