Abstract:
The Kingdom of Eswatini is a Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity and to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. As Party, Eswatini has domesticated these agreements by passing the Biosafety Act, of 2012 to provide for the safe handling, transfer, and use of living modified organisms (LMOs) in the country. The Act regulates living modified organisms to be used for confined field trials, commercial release, import, export, and transit, and for food, feed, and processing. Guidance is provided for prospective applicants before any application is made to the Competent Authority. This framework also provides for the regulation of emerging technologies such as synthetic biology and genome editing. The regulatory framework for living modified organisms aims to provide an enabling environment for the precautionary use of modern biotechnology and its products in the country in order to safeguard biological diversity and human health.
摘要:
埃斯瓦蒂尼王国是《生物多样性公约》和《卡塔赫纳生物安全议定书》的缔约国。作为派对,埃斯瓦蒂尼通过《生物安全法》将这些协议归化,2012年的规定,以提供安全处理,转让,以及在该国使用改性活生物体(LMOs)。该法规定了用于密闭田间试验的改性活生物体,商业发布,进口,export,和过境,和食物,饲料,和处理。在向主管当局提出任何申请之前,将为潜在申请人提供指导。该框架还提供了对合成生物学和基因组编辑等新兴技术的调节。改性活生物体监管框架旨在为该国预防性使用现代生物技术及其产品提供有利环境,以保护生物多样性和人类健康。
