China will implement the new management measures for genetically modified organisms on March 20

Introduction: Du Qinglin, Minister of agriculture of China, said on Monday that China will implement the new management method of genetically modified organisms (GMO) as scheduled from March 20, and hoped that China and the United States can reach a consensus on this He told Reuters on the sidelines of a press conference that "the regulations have been promulgated, will be implemented on schedule and all preparations are in place." A delegation of officials from the U.S Department of agriculture and other departments has arrived in China, Reuters quoted a U.S official as saying early on Monday, and may ask China to postpone the implementation of the new management measures for genetically modified organisms in a one week meeting Du Qinglin said in this regard, "we need to consult with each other on some issues, and we need to exchange information on others, and we believe that consensus can be reached." Du Qinglin also said that overseas soybeans arriving in China after March 20 need to obtain a safety certificate recognized by China, then carry out identification, and then enter China In June 2001, China promulgated new regulations on genetically modified biological products, but at that time, it did not introduce relevant implementation rules, resulting in a significant reduction in soybean orders to the United States About 70% of American soybeans are genetically modified products While China's Ministry of Agriculture issued a new genetically modified organisms management method at the beginning of this year, which will be implemented from March 20, traders said that the import application procedures required under the method appeared to be quite cumbersome (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
