The Rules aim at the protection of the environment, nature and health, in connection with the application of gene technology and micro-organisms. According to article 2.2, these Rules shall "apply to genetically engineered organisms, micro-organisms and cells and correspondingly to any substances and products and foodstuffs, etc. of which such cells, organisms or tissues hereof form part". The Rules regulate the powers of the following authorities: (a) Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RDAC), to review developments in biotechnology at national and international levels and to recommend suitable and appropriate safety regulations; (b) Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM), in charge of monitoring the safety related aspect in respect of research projects and activities involving genetically engineered organisms and/or hazardous micro-organisms; (c) Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBSC), which shall assist research institutions, in accordance with the guidelines of the RCGM, in the preparation of an uptodate on-site emergency plan; (d) Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC), which shall function as a body under the Department of Environment, Forests and Wildlife for approval of activities involving large scale use of hazardous micro-organisms and recombinants in research and industrial production; (e) State Biotechnology coordination Committee (SBCC), which shall have powers to inspect, investigate and take punitive action in case of violations of statutory provisions; (f) District Level Committee (DLC), to monitor the safety regulations in installations engaged in the use of genetically modified organisms and/or hazardous micro-organisms. The import, export, transport, manufacture, processing, use, sale, release and production of genetically modified organisms and/or hazardous micro-organisms shall be authorized by the GEAC, according to the procedure of articles 5-15. Final provisions concern enforcement measures and penalties to be applied in case of contravention.
