Competent Authorities - R&D with GMO-medicinal products
(Last revised: January 15, 2007 )

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The deliberate release of GMO in the environment is forbidden by the federal Law. An advanced authorisation MUST be obtained before carrying on such experiment.

The federal administration is specifically responsible for the management and follow-up of administrative procedures. However, one or more regional administration(s) participate(s) in the decision process with the federal administration.
Authorisations are delivered on basis of an advice of the Biosafety Advisory Council.
