Abstract
Unlike health safety assessment of genetically modified (GM) food, which
is implemented through defined international standards, assessment of
environmental consequences in the production of GM food conducted competent
bodies of different countries in different ways, respecting international agreements.
Several international treaties and conventions relevant to the environmental aspects
transgenih products, and most important are: Convention on biological diversity
(CBD), Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety and the International Convention on Plant
Protection (IPPC). International Council for Science recommends further research
the effects of plant transgenih culture and much more specific monitoring (with
better methodology) after their release into the environment.
