Focus

  • Environmental Considerations for Risk/Safety Assessment for the Release of Transgenic Plants

    Transgenic plant varieties are subject to official risk/safety assessment, science-based and case-by-case, before their potential release into the environment. The document contains general information on environmental risk/safety assessment, its key concepts, structure and planning. Annexes describe seven examples of environmental considerations routinely examined by assessors and taken from experience gained during such assessment: Invasiveness and weediness; Vertical gene flow; Organisms (animals); Soil functions; Plant health; Crop management practices; and Biodiversity (protected species and habitats/ecosystems).

  • Recent developments in delegations on Biosafety

    This document compiles information on recent activities related to the environmental safety assessment of biotechnology products (biosafety) at the international level between June 2022 and April 2023. The information was provided by OECD Members, partner countries and observer organisations participating in the work, prepared for the ‘Tour de Table’ of the WP-HROB annual meeting held in April 2023.
