Informed sources revealed: The Ministry of Agriculture launched a genetic inspection nationwide storm

Economic Observer Online Reporter Jiang Yuncheng The Ministry of Agriculture has finally begun to take a heavy hand in the practice of illegal commercialization and false declaration of individual genetically modified agricultural products.

According to informed sources, the Ministry of Agriculture is currently conducting nationwide 2010 law enforcement inspections on agricultural GMO research and testing. This inspection mainly focuses on the three links of genetically modified rice, corn, soybeans, and rapeseed seeds - safety assessment test links, validation testing links, and sales and marketing links, and focuses on the supervision of R&D units.

The inspection will begin in May and will end at the end of December.

In order to cooperate with the Ministry of Agriculture's GM law enforcement inspections, some provinces and cities have introduced relevant systems. The reporter learned from insiders of the Chongqing Municipal Agriculture Commission that the Chongqing Municipality requires that the transgenic safety evaluation test approved by the Ministry of Agriculture ensure the supervision rate of 100%. “The safety control measures and control system of the test site shall be inspected before the test; The quarantine and other security control measures are supervised; after the end of the trial, the management of the residue and the preservation of the harvest are regulated."

In respect of the supervision of the trials for species certification, Chongqing Municipality will “strengthen the supervision of crop varieties approved at the provincial level and test genetically modified rice, corn, rapeseed, and soybean varieties that have participated in production trials to combat false declarations and identify problems. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the “Approval Measures for Crop Variety”, all districts and counties and relevant units shall actively assist in strengthening supervision.”

In the management of sales and marketing links, “districts and counties should strengthen the supervision of GM cotton seeds sold on the market, and at the same time strengthen the supervision of other crop seeds such as rice, corn, soybeans, and rapeseed seeds, and prevent the illegal management of GM crop seeds”.

In addition, Chongqing Municipality also requested to strengthen the supervision of R&D units. The document clearly states that "all units involved in the research, development, production, processing, and management of agricultural genetically modified organisms are all included in the scope of supervision.

Chongqing Municipality also requires all relevant units to establish a safety management leading group in accordance with the “Regulations on the Administration of Safety of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms” and submit it to the Chongqing Genetic Office for filing.

The person familiar with the matter told the reporter that the unit and related personnel responsible for undertaking scientific and technological research projects concerning the breeding of new varieties of genetically modified organisms and other special scientific projects should, if they violate the laws, regulations, and regulations concerning the safety management of genetically modified organisms, and in particular carry out field experiments without approval, arbitrarily spread genetic modification. In addition to the legal treatment and punishment of biological materials, the Ministry of Agriculture will cancel the unit and related personnel to undertake major scientific research tasks such as special qualifications.
