Download or read book GMOREGEX User Guide written by A. Rana and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document contains the user manual for the GMOREGEX application. It describes in detail the user functionalities provided by the system to the four different types of users for which the system has been implemented, i.e. the generic (non authenticated) user, the Member States National Competent Authorities user, the Commission user and finally a special type of authenticated user that can add comments or observations to GMO notifications based on the authorisation granted by the Competent Authorities and the Commission users. The GMOREGEX system is a web-based application that enables the electronic support of the GMO notification and authorisation process as defined in Directive 2001/18/EC [DIR.2001/18].^As specified in the Preparatory Report [PR] and in the Global Implementation Plan [GIP], the system has been developed to support the management of document exchange, information dissemination and events tracking related to the authorisation process for the deliberate release of new GMOs for experimental purposes (Part B notifications and associated SNIFs - [SNIF.PARTB]) or for marketing purposes (Part C releases and associated SNIFs and reports - [SNIF.PARTC]). The processes followed in the system are in accordance to "DIRECTIVE 2001/18/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC" and follow the technical specifications and indications contained in the Preparatory Report [PR] and in the Global Implementation Plan [GIP].^This manual is designed to familiarize users with the GMOREGEX system and provide a reference of the system's functionalities and use. The GMOREGEX system includes also the implementation of the GMO Register which supports the storage of information and related documentation of authorised GMOs in the EU, as well as the dissemination of public information to the general public according to the provisions of Art. 31.2 of [DIR.2001/18]. The GMOREGEX system includes also a component that implements the information submission to the Biosafety Clearing House (BCH) in support of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety - Regulation (EC) No. 1946/2003 [REG.1946/2003].^The GMOREGEX system supports the following five roles: - Commission user (COM) - Competent Authority (CA) user (this role includes both "LEAD CA" and "Non LEAD CA", a CA is given the role of "LEAD CA" for all notifications that are created by users associated to it) - Authorised External Party (AEP) - Anonymous user (Guest) In addition, and administrator role is defined for administration and management of the system: - System administrator (Admin) From a functional viewpoint, the GMOREGEX system supports the following high-level functionalities: - Creation of a new notification (Part B and Part C) - Management of the lifecycle associated to a new GMO notification (i.e.^circulation and publication of information, gathering, sending, collecting and circulation of comments, etc.) - Dissemination/publication of public information associated to an authorised GMO - Submission of information to the BCH Central Portal and publication to a EU-based BCH interface - Reporting - Advanced search facilities The current document is partially based on the documentation generated within the project on the implementation of the system carried out with the collaboration of an external contractor.
Download or read book GMOs Decoded written by Sheldon Krimsky and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate over genetically modified organisms: health and safety concerns, environmental impact, and scientific opinions. Since they were introduced to the market in the late 1990s, GMOs (genetically modified organisms, including genetically modified crops), have been subject to a barrage of criticism. Agriculture has welcomed this new technology, but public opposition has been loud and scientific opinion mixed. In GMOs Decoded, Sheldon Krimsky examines the controversies over GMOs—health and safety concerns, environmental issues, the implications for world hunger, and the scientific consensus (or lack of one). He explores the viewpoints of a range of GMO skeptics, from public advocacy groups and nongovernmental organizations to scientists with differing views on risk and environmental impact. Krimsky explains the differences between traditional plant breeding and “molecular breeding” through genetic engineering (GE); describes early GMO products, including the infamous Flavr Savr tomato; and discusses herbicide-, disease-, and insect-resistant GE plants. He considers the different American and European approaches to risk assessment, dueling scientific interpretations of plant genetics, and the controversy over labeling GMO products. He analyzes a key 2016 report from the National Academies of Sciences on GMO health effects and considers the controversy over biofortified rice (Golden Rice)—which some saw as a humanitarian project and others as an exercise in public relations. Do GMO crops hold promise or peril? By offering an accessible review of the risks and benefits of GMO crops, and a guide to the controversies over them, Krimsky helps readers judge for themselves.
Download or read book GMO Food written by David E. Newton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an exhaustive background on the history of genetically modified organism (GMO) crops and foods as well as the controversies surrounding these products, this book allows readers to develop their own particular viewpoint on the production and use of GMO substances. Genetic engineering has long been used to impart desirable characteristics to food plants in order to improve crop yield, pest resistance, and herbicide tolerance. Genetic modification of foods, however, has created a storm of controversy everywhere in the world—including the United States. What are the benefits of and risks involved with genetically modified organisms (GMO) and crops? What powerful industry pressures have extended the sale and use of GMO foods and crops globally? And how should consumer food products that involve GM ingredients be labeled? GMO Food: A Reference Handbook addresses these questions and the complex issues involved, allowing readers to fully understand why genetically modified organisms represent one of the most important issues in the 21st century. The book provides clear, factual information and background on the history of genetically modified crops and foods, covering topics such as the historic methods of plant and animal modification (such as cross-breeding) and important discoveries in genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetic engineering, and related fields; the social, political, philosophical, and economic issues that have arisen with these scientific advances; and the laws and regulations that have resulted from the range of attitudes about GMO foods. The book also supplies additional resources for readers performing extensive research in an annotated bibliography of books, articles, reports, and web pages.

Download or read book GMO Myths and Truths written by Claire Robinson and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often claimed that the case against genetically modified (GM) crops and foods is based on emotion, not science, and that to oppose GM crop and food technology is to be anti-science. It is also claimed that GM crops offer higher yields and better nutrition, that they are safe for health and the environment, that they reduce agrochemical use, and that they are needed to feed the world’s growing population. This book, co-authored by two genetic engineers and a writer/researcher, exposes these claims as false, using scientific and other documented evidence. GMO Myths and Truths summarizes the facts on the safety and efficacy of genetically modified (GM) crops and foods in terms that are accessible to the non-scientist but still relevant to scientists, policymakers and educators. The evidence presented points to many hazards, risks, and limitations of genetic engineering technology. These include harms found in animal feeding and ecological studies, which in turn indicate risks to health and the environment posed by GM crops and foods. The layout of the book enables those readers with limited time to read the chapter summaries, while providing more detail and full references for those who require them. At 164 pages of paperback size, this new condensed version is shorter and more accessible than the authors’ 330-page report by the same name, which has been downloaded over half a million times. The book shows that conventional breeding continues to outstrip GM in developing crops that deliver high yields, better nutrition, and tolerance to extreme weather conditions and poor soils. In agreement with over 400 international experts who co-authored a UN and World Bank-sponsored report on the future of farming, the authors conclude that modern agroecology, rather than GM, is the best path for feeding the world’s current and future populations in a safe and sustainable way.

This book was released on 2004-07-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assists policymakers in evaluating the appropriate scientific methods for detecting unintended changes in food and assessing the potential for adverse health effects from genetically modified products. In this book, the committee recommended that greater scrutiny should be given to foods containing new compounds or unusual amounts of naturally occurring substances, regardless of the method used to create them. The book offers a framework to guide federal agencies in selecting the route of safety assessment. It identifies and recommends several pre- and post-market approaches to guide the assessment of unintended compositional changes that could result from genetically modified foods and research avenues to fill the knowledge gaps.
