The US Department of Agriculture Biosafety Management (BRS) department is using the new approval process to accelerate the review of genetically modified products. The department recently announced the expected approval schedule to the farmers and industry organizations.
At a meeting at the end of last month, Mikefirko, deputy director of the BRS, said that the department has the ability to remove the return of the backlog for genetically modified biotechnology crops in 2014, which announced the US Department of Agriculture announced the improvement of the approval process. I have been transferred.
The Biosafety Management Services pointed out that since March 2012, the department has reduced the number of backlogs from 22 copies to 7 copies. At present, the department is dealing with the remaining 14 and 1 application extension.
But some people think that the approval process is not fast enough. American farmers seek new transgenic technology, and these technologies in Brazil and Canada are more than a few years more than the US Department of Agriculture and US EPD.
In December 2009, Dow has submitted an application to the US Department of Agriculture, requiring approval of its 2,4-D and glyphosate soybeans, and the Ministry of Agriculture expects to make a final decision in July this year. Critics pointed out that the product has been approved by Canada two years ago.
