Changes to Legislation

Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team.

[F1PART DSCONCLUSIONS ON THE SPECIFIC AREAS OF RISK OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT

16.  Conclusions on the potential environmental impact in relevant receiving environments from the release or the placing on the market of genetically modified organisms must be drawn for each relevant area of risk listed in Chapter D.1 for genetically modified organisms other than higher plants or, as the case may be, Chapter D.2 for genetically modified higher plants, on the basis of an environmental risk assessment carried out in accordance with the principles outlined in Part B of this schedule and following the methodology described in Part C of this schedule, and on the basis of the information required pursuant to schedules 2 and 3.S

CHAPTER D.1SGENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS OTHER THAN HIGHER PLANTS

Areas of riskS

17.(1) Likelihood of the genetically modified organism becoming persistent and invasive in natural habitats under the conditions of the proposed release(s).

(2) Any selective advantage or disadvantage conferred to the genetically modified organism and the likelihood of this becoming realised under the conditions of the proposed release(s).

(3) Potential for gene transfer to other species under conditions of the proposed release of the genetically modified organism and any selective advantage or disadvantage conferred to those species.

(4) Potential immediate and/or delayed environmental impact of the direct and indirect interactions between the genetically modified organism and target organisms (if applicable).

(5) Potential immediate and/or delayed environmental impact of the direct and indirect interactions between the genetically modified organism with non-target organisms, including impact on population levels of competitors, prey, hosts, symbionts, predators, parasites and pathogens.

(6) Possible immediate and/or delayed effects on human health resulting from potential direct and indirect interactions of the genetically modified organism and persons working with, coming into contact with or in the vicinity of the genetically modified organism release(s).

(7) Possible immediate and/or delayed effects on animal health and consequences for the feed/food chain resulting from consumption of the genetically modified organism and any product derived from it, if it is intended to be used as animal feed.

(8) Possible immediate and/or delayed effects on biogeochemical processes resulting from potential direct and indirect interactions of the genetically modified organism and target and non-target organisms in the vicinity of the genetically modified organism release(s).

(9) Possible immediate and/or delayed, direct and indirect environmental impacts of the specific techniques used for the management of the genetically modified organism where these are different from those used for non-genetically modified organisms.

CHAPTER D.2SGENETICALLY MODIFIED HIGHER PLANTS

Areas of riskS

18.(1) Persistence and invasiveness of the genetically modified higher plants, including plant to plant gene transfer.

(2) Plant to micro-organisms gene transfer.

(3) Interactions of the genetically modified higher plants with target organisms.

(4) Interactions of the genetically modified higher plants with non-target organisms.

(5) Impacts of the specific cultivation, management and harvesting techniques.

(6) Effects on biogeochemical processes.

(7) Effects on human and animal health.]

Timeline of Changes

This timeline shows the different points in time where a change occurred. The dates will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
