Traduction de «loi sur le génie génétique » (Français → Anglais) :

and, annually, a report on the development and implications of patent law in the field of biotechnology and genetic engineering; the Commission must send those reports to the EP and the Council (Article 16); that being the case, calls on the Commission not to delay any longer the submission of the first annual report, which was due on 30 July 2001, and to use that opportunity to report the results of expert meetings, including consultations held by the Commission, on the issue of the patenting of genetic sequences and to inform the House about any communication between the Commission and the Member States regarding the difficulties of ...[+++]interpretation raised by Member States;

Just as red genetic engineering is by no means all opportunity, green genetic engineering is by no means all risk.

Let me cite, in particular, the compulsory identification of any vegetable fat content on the front of the product; the requirement for preliminary validation of a reliable analysis method; the principle of subsidiarity, which was removed by the Council even though it had been proposed by the Commission from the outset, the rejection of methods of genetic engineering and chemical methods – I would point out that the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection is in favour of rejecting the use of genetic engineering – and, finally, last but not least, a proposal for a serious impact study, which will not be carried out long after the directive ...[+++] comes into force but rather as soon as it comes into force, on the socio-economic situation of the cocoa-producing countries who are likely to be the first victims of this legislation.

Transferring genetic information The most spectacular developments occurred in the field of plant genetics, where research workers from three laboratories (in Ghent, Leyden and Cologne) succeeded in transferring foreign genetic information to onions, asparagus and daffodils, all of which (like cereals) are monocotyledones, a class of plant that had formerly resisted all attempts at modification by genetic engineering.

This programme with a budget of 15 million ECUs has made it possible to associate numerous laboratories from all Member states in work touching on most of the major sectors of biotechnology: genetic engineering of plants and micro-organisms for use in agriculture, genetic engineering applied to animal breeding, to agro-industries, etc.
