Licences shall be granted for specific purposes such as elementary research and the improvement of public health and the environment. Cloning and genetic engineering shall be done in accordance with specific rules laid down by the Act regulating experiments on animals. The Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries establishes rules related to the required written communication form – which shall now be electronically – and the use of certain IT systems (digital formats, digital signature etc.).
