Käyttöönotto.

Cartagenan bioturvallisuuspöytäkirjan (CPB) provides a tool for countries that do not yet have domestic regulatory frameworks in place to make informed decisions about the import into their territory of Living Modified Organisms (LMO) for release into the environment. One of the key procedures in this respect is the Advanced Informed Agreement (AIA) procedure. The Parties to the CPB meet regularly to discuss matters as implementation of the CPB. These meetings are often referred to as ‘MOPs’. More information about the CPB and MOPs can be found on the website of the Convention on Biological Diversity and under ‘Asetus’ on the PRRI website.

Riskin arviointi .

The Biosafety Protocol requires Parties to make decisions on import of LMOs for intentional introduction into the environment in accordance with scientifically sound risk assessments (Artikkeli 15). It sets out in Liitteessä III general principles, methodological steps, and points to consider in conducting a risk assessment.

Vuosien saatossa, the MOP has taken several decisions relevant to risk assessment.

  • In MOP2 (2005), the Parties established an Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group on Risk Assessment (AHTEG) to further consider and evaluate the nature and scope of existing approaches to risk assessment and identify existing gaps, and capacity-building needs.
  • In MOP4 (2008), the Parties established: (minä) an Open-ended Online Forum); ja (ii) an Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on Risk Assessment and Risk Management with the objective to develop further guidance on specific aspects of risk assessment and risk management.
  • In MOP5 (2010), osapuolet tyytyväinen ensimmäisen version ohjaus- ja se vaati edelleen tieteellisesti tarkistetaan ja testataan vahvistaa sen yleistä hyödyllisyys ja sovellettavuus ien eri taksonien tuoda eri ympäristöihin.
  • in MOP6 (2012), osapuolet kiitti edistyksestä, extended the Open-ended Online Forum and established a new AHTEG on Risk Assessment and Risk Management.
  • in MOP7, Osapuolten valtuuttanut edelleen toimia, jotka liittyvät riskinarviointiin ja riskien hallinnan.
