Government of New Zealand On Tuesday, it announced the introduction of a new law to facilitate promotion and marketing of products Genetic technologiessuch as Genetic editing. Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology, Judith CollinsThat said, current regulations and lengthy processes have made research outside the lab nearly impossible.
“These changes will align New Zealand with global best practice and ensure that benefits can be reaped,” Collins said.
Currently, the rules establish that Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) They cannot be released without going through a complex and rigorous process, which makes it difficult to meet established standards. Also, gene editing is considered the same as genetic modification, even if no foreign DNA is introduced.
Under the new law, low-risk gene editing techniques produce indistinguishable changes Regular background They are exempt from regulation. Local authorities will no longer be able to prevent the use of GMOs in their regions and a new regulator will be created for the industry.
“This is a major milestone in modernizing genetic engineering laws that will allow us to improve health outcomes, adapt to climate change, generate large economic benefits and improve the lives of New Zealanders,” Collins said.
The government hopes that the law will be approved and the new regulatory authority will be in place by the end 2025.
