Safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms in China is on the legal track

Introduction: the reporter learned from the Ministry of agriculture that as of June 3 this year, China has issued 256 temporary certificates for the import of genetically modified agricultural products, 536 approval documents for the examination and approval of import marks, and arranged a group of biological research and development companies to monitor the environmental release of genetically modified agricultural products The safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms has been included in the important work schedule of the Ministry of agriculture In order to implement the regulations on the safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms promulgated by the State Council, the Ministry of agriculture has issued three supporting management measures, including the safety evaluation of agricultural genetically modified organisms, import safety management and labeling management, as well as the announcement of Interim Measures for the safety management of genetically modified agricultural products, which marks that the safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms in China has entered the legal track In order to further standardize management, strengthen the construction of supervision system and law enforcement technical support system, the Ministry of agriculture proposes the following specific measures: first, strengthen the construction of supervision system The provincial agricultural administrative departments should strengthen the leadership of this work, clarify the management organization, improve the law enforcement team, and ensure the implementation of the regulations and relevant laws and regulations According to the procedures of GMOs safety evaluation, import management, temporary measures management and identification review and approval, the four gates of application, acceptance, review and approval shall be strictly controlled to improve the quality and efficiency of supervision Second, speed up the construction of law enforcement technical support system As soon as possible, according to the standard requirements, a number of law enforcement technical support institutions of environmental safety assessment, food safety of genetically modified agricultural products and inspection of genetically modified products shall be identified and constructed, and the project approval work of national agricultural genetically modified organisms safety assessment and inspection center shall be speeded up to improve the technical support capacity Third, actively promote the research of agricultural genetically modified organisms We will accelerate the construction of major scientific projects for agricultural gene resources and gene improvement, build a national research and development system for agricultural genetically modified biotechnology, and promote the rapid development of agricultural biotechnology research in China (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
