Environmental Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Plants
In order to fulfil the requirement of the guidance notes supplementing Annex II to Directive 2001/18/EC on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms the current environmental risk assessment of genetically modified plants needs to be improved. By adopting a quantitative and predictive environmental risk assessment methodology it is possible to aid decis ion m...
متن کاملGenetically modified plants as fish feed ingredients
Commonly used plant ingredients in salmon feed such as soybeans and maize are increasingly grown as genetically modified (GM) varieties. The question arises whether these are equally nutritious and safe for the fish as conventional varieties. The target species of this thesis is Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), while zebrafish (Danio rerio) is used as a potential model. Extensive evaluations of p...
متن کاملEnvironmental risk assessment of genetically modified plants - concepts and controversies
Background and purpose: In Europe, the EU Directive 2001/18/EC lays out the main provisions of environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified (GM) organisms that are interpreted very differently by different stakeholders. The purpose of this paper is to: (a) describe the current implementation of ERA of GM plants in the EU and its scientific shortcomings, (b) present an improved ER...
متن کاملSafety assessment of genetically modified plants with deliberately altered composition
The development and marketing of 'novel' genetically modified (GM) crops in which composition has been deliberately altered poses a challenge to the European Union (EU)'s risk assessment processes, which are based on the concept of substantial equivalence with a non-GM comparator. This article gives some examples of these novel GM crops and summarizes the conclusions of a report that was commis...
متن کاملEcological Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Higher Plants (GMHP)
This report suggests a structured way to identify the type of data needed to perform a sound ecological risk assessment for genetically modified higher plants (GMHP). The identified data types are intended to support the evaluation of the following risks: risk of invasion and establishment of the modified plant in natural habitats; risk of introgression of the inserted traits to other plant spe...
