living modified organism , LMO (abbreviation)

This database provides information on the different types of living modified organisms that specific countries have approved.

• (j) any other information with respect to the living modified organism or its release that the person may have.

Draft agreement on transboundary movements of living modified organisms (→ point 1.22.20).

• Canada made substantial efforts to engage Japan's cooperation on living modified organisms.

The objective of the Protocol is to ensure the safe international trade of living modified organisms.

(1) These Regulations do not apply to a living modified organism that is a pharmaceutical for humans.

The protocol is designed to ensure that trade in living modified organisms does not have a negative impact on biodiversity and the world's ecosystems.

It covers the safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms that might have an adverse effect on biodiversity.

The Regulations Living modified organisms are defined in the proposed regulations.

This extends also to work with living modified organisms, recognising that their hazards are based on those of the parent microorganism.

The Protocol is the first international convention governing the transboundary movement of living modified organisms resulting from biotechnology.

• (b) the name, address and telephone number of the contact person in possession of further information regarding the living modified organism.

• (d) the name and address of the individual and institution to whom the living modified organism is consigned.

The agreement will help protect the environment and ensure the safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms resulting from modern biotechnology.

Many of the living modified organisms that will be regulated under the Protocol are agricultural products including corn, canola, potatoes and soybeans.

Prevent or mitigate adverse impacts of harmful alien species or living modified organisms on biodiversity.

• (n) result and purpose of any notification by the exporter to other States regarding the living modified organism to be exported.

Potential contributions of horizontal gene transfer to the transboundary movement of living modified organisms resulting from modern biotechnology.

The Protocol seeks to protect biological diversity from the potential risks posed by living modified organisms resulting from modern biotechnology.

The protocol aims to protect biodiversity and regulate the international trade in living modified organisms (LMOs).

The treaty also requires exporters to secure permission from target countries before importing "living modified organisms" such as genetically altered seeds.

See Genetically modified organisms and Living modified organisms.

The proposed Regulations specify the documentation that must accompany every intentional transboundary movement of a living modified organism to another Party.

An exporter shall include with every intentional transboundary movement of a living modified organism intended for contained use, documentation setting out the following information:

• Europe should continue to promote protection of biodiversity and the implementation of the Biosafety Protocol for international trade in living modified organisms.
