Risk Assessment and Regulations WoGr

Risk Assessment and Regulations - lead Joachim Schiemann

Next activities: Increase awareness of Risk Assessment (RA) and Regulatory Issues (RI) among EPSO members; Provide actual overview and access to RA and RI

Joachim Schieman will lead the group on RA and RI issues of new agricultural technologies, including genetic engineering, which influences the daily work and lives of researchers involved in new biotechnologies – such as new plant breeding techniques: Zinc finger nuclease technology; oligonucleotides directed mutagenesis; reverse breeding or Agro-infiltration.

Often this area is of small concern to relative newcomers in the field of research, yet the productive outcome of research is guided and often thwarted by regulations. The group aims to address this significant area, directly related to research and placing on the market. Main tasks of the group are to:

· Increase awareness of RA and RI amongst EPSO members

· Provide an actual overview on and access to RA and RI documents for EPSO
   members

· Flag up necessary actions

Please contact Joachim Schiemann for further information.
