Abstract

There are marked differences in the approaches that regulate genetically modified (GM) products and the new breeding techniques (NBTs) in the European Union (EU) and in other areas of the world. Through the review of regulations and ongoing discussions, we show that the world can be divided in two groups based on the discrepancies in the approach of the country's regulations. On the one hand, Europe, with the main countries of Asia and Africa, regulates New Breeding Techniques as a genetically modified organism. On the other, a group of countries mainly located in the American continent, together with Australia, adopted a case-by-case approach, and are generally at a more advanced stage in the implementation of these new techniques. The paper aims to evaluate the possible evolution in the countries' regulations on the use of NBTs in the next years. The division between Western and Eastern countries of the world is confirmed, with some interesting movements in some regions. Greater uniformity among national regulations would be desirable to promote the implementation of biotechnologies in agriculture. The main research findings are that most EU Member States have taken a conservative position, whereas the Eastern group is more advanced and this could be a driving force for some regions toward acceptance of these technologies in the coming years.
关于非关税壁垒的持续辩论和未来可能的道路
在欧盟(EU)和世界其他地区,转基因产品和新育种技术(NBTs)的监管方法存在明显差异。通过对相关法规的回顾和正在进行的讨论,我们发现,根据各国法规方法的差异,世界可以分为两类。一方面,欧洲以及亚洲和非洲的主要国家将新育种技术作为转基因生物进行管理。另一方面,主要位于美洲大陆的一些国家,连同澳大利亚,则采取了个案处理的方法,在实施这些新技术方面普遍处于更先进的阶段。本文旨在评估这些国家未来几年在使用无损检测技术方面的法规可能发生的变化。世界上西方国家和东方国家之间的分野得到了证实,一些地区出现了一些有趣的动向。为了促进生物技术在农业中的应用,各国的法规最好能更加统一。主要研究结果表明,大多数欧盟成员国采取了保守的立场,而东方国家则更为先进,这可能会成为一些地区在未来几年接受这些技术的推动力。
