Introdución.

O Protocolo de Cartagena sobre Biossegurança (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 (OVM) 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 web da Convención sobre Diversidade Biolóxica e baixo ‘Regulamento’ na páxina web da PRRI.
