Resumen

This Directive requires the maker and the user of a modified organism to carry out a risk assessment prior to any transaction to evaluate the possible harm to human or animal health, biological diversity, the environment, ethical values or cultural or economic norms of local communities or the economic condition of the country. This assessment shall take the parameters set out in this Directive, and any others deemed relevant, into consideration. A 'transaction' means any making or use of any modified organism in teaching, research, production, import, export, transit, deliberate release, production under contained use, transport, placing on the market, or use as a pharmaceutical, as food, as feed or for processing. Parameters shall, among other things, refer to: characteristics of donor and recipient or parental organisms; characteristics of the vector and the promoter, terminator and marker genes; characteristics of modified organisms; safety considerations for human and animal health; and environmental considerations.
