U.S. biotechnology industry approves Product Launch Stewardship Policy
The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) today announced a new forward-looking policy statement that will encourage BIO’s Food and Agriculture members to help facilitate the flow of goods in commerce and minimize the potential for trade disruptions with respect to products of agricultural biotechnology. The Product Launch Stewardship Policy addresses the issue of asynchronous authorizations — where different countries may approve, deregulate or authorize biotech crop varieties at different times. Such variance in regulatory authorizations among trading partners can potentially disrupt trade and commerce of grain products.
