27 May 2011Mozambique intends to revise its regulations on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in order to adapt this legislation to the country's current needs.
The Minister of Science and Technology, Venancio Massingue, announced this intention on Wednesday at the opening of a seminar of reflection on bio-security guidelines for the handling and risk management of GMOs in Mozambique.
Mozambique ratified the Cartagena Protocol on Bio-safety in 2001, and in 2007 the government approved a set of regulations on bio-safety dealing specifically with the management of GMOs.
