Sub-articles (1), (4), (6), (9), (12), (17) and (18) of Article 2 are deleted and replaced; sub-articles (19), (20), (21) and (22) are added after sub-article (18) of Article 2 of the Proclamation and the existing sub-articles (19) and (20) are re-numbered as sub-articles (23) and (24). These amendments entail that several definitions from the main Proclamation have changed (modified organism, contained use, advance informed agreement, etc.) and new concepts added (modern biotechnology, special permit). 'Modern biotechnology’ means the application of: a) In vitro nucleic acid techniques, including recombinant deoxyribonuclic acid and direct injection of nucleic acid into cells or organelles; b) fusion of cells beyond the taxonomic family; that overcome natural physiological, reproductive or recombination barriers and that are not techniques used in traditional breeding and selection.
