2007 White Paper - American Business in China: Regulation and approval of genetically modified organisms (GMO)
China’s GMO approval process continues to be a significant barrier for U.S. companies in that they are excessively burdensome, are not in conformity with international practice, and put applicant’s intellectual property at risk of being copied. China requires that a trait be reviewed and approved each time it is used in a new product, in contrast to the international practice which requires that a trait only be approved once in order to be used in other agricultural products. Conventional ”stacked” traits that have already been individually approved are considered to be new products and must be re-approved.
