Let X be a definable C manifold, Y1, Y2 definably compact definable C r submanifolds of X such that dimY1 + dimY2 < dimX and Y1 has a trivial normal bundle. We prove that there exists a definable isotopy {hp}p∈J such that h0 = idX and h1(Y1) ∩ Y2 = ∅. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 14P10, 14P20, 58A05, 03C64.
