Peru will ban trans-genetic seeds until 2014, Minister Brack says

Isabel Guerra
Peru's Environment Minister Antonio Brack told the press that the Executive will publish soon the Regulations on Agricultural Biosafety, which explicitly bans the entry of seeds genetically modified (trans-genetic) into Peru until 2014.
The mentioned text was completed in 2005, after a process that lasted nearly three years, with the participation of institutions and sectors involved in these issues, and was submitted to public consult on the website of the Ministry of Agriculture (Minag) in December 2008.
Only a few comments have been received so far, mostly from the Ministry of Environment (Minam), National Institute of Agrarian Innovation (INIA) and Platform for a Peru Free of Trans-genetics.
Minister Brack said that the delay in authorizing trans-genetics in Peru is due to the need of taking minimal time to technically prepare the institutions for monitoring these products, and to implement a laboratory system that allows their monitoring and control.
