CZECH REPUBLIC[13 September 2006] [SUBMISSION:ENGLISH] 1. Does your country have any plantations, either commercial or experimental, of genetically modified trees? No, the Czech Republic doesn’t have any plantations, neither commercial nor experimental, of genetically modified trees. If yes, please answer all remaining questions. If no, please state the reason why: 2. Has your country developed any platform/discussion forum/national committee etc. dealing with genetically modified trees? No, for instant, the Czech Republic hasn’t developed any platform or discussion forum or national committee dealing with genetically modified trees. If yes, please answer the remaining questions. If no, please state the reason why: 3. Does your country have any guidelines or regulations for minimizing the impacts of genetically modified trees for scientific and/or commercial purposes? As far as question 3 is concerned, our response „NO“ apparently corresponds with the question in a strict sense. No specific guidelines or regulations on genetically modified trees has been adopted in the Czech Republic yet, but, generally speaking, advanced national biosafety framework and all its components, i.e. legislation, administration, information sharing, education, public awareness and participation, inspection and control have been developed in the Czech Republic recently. If yes, please list them according to the categories below: The Act No. 78/2004 Coll., on the Use of Genetically Modified Organisms and Genetic Products came into effect on February 25, 2004. It repeals Act No. 153/2000 that had been in force since January 1, 2001. The Act 78/2004 together with an implementing Decree No. 209/2004 covers the contained use, deliberate release of GMOs into the environment and placing on the market of GMOs as or in products, including the export and import thereof. The Act transposes EU Directives 2001/18/EC and 98/81/EC and the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. If no, please explain the reason why here. Environmental impacts of genetically modified trees (Example: effects on native ecosystems, use of herbicide) Cultural impacts of genetically modified trees (Example: positive or negative impacts on indigenous and local communities and their traditional knowledge) Socio-economic impacts of genetically modified trees (Example: positive or negative effects on quantity, quality and economic value of forest production; positive or negative impacts on livelihoods of communities) DENMARK[19 November 2007] [SUBMISSION:ENGLISH] 1. Does your country have any plantations, either commercial or experimental, of genetically modified trees? Denmark has no plantations, either commercial or experimental of genetically modified trees. If yes, please answer all remaining questions. If no, please state the reason why: Denmark has not received any applications for the deliberate release of genetically modified trees.
If no, please state the reason why: Denmark has not seen the need for such measures.
If no, please explain the reason why here: Denmark has not seen the need for such measures.
[19 November 2007][SUBMISSION:ENGLISH]
If yes, please answer all remaining questions. If no, please state the reason why: according to available data, there are neither commercial nor experimental plantations of genetically modified trees in Estonia.
If yes, please answer all remaining questions. Estonia does not have any special arrangements for genetically modified trees. This issue belongs under general GMO policy and is regulated similarly to any other GMOs. There has been some discussions about GM trees (in internet based e-mailing list „loodusaja list“), but the government has not worked out its special platform or position in regard of GM trees as there has not been any applications or real interest in this regard so far. There have been a couple of cases when scientific institutions have been interested in starting experiments with GM trees, but as soon as they learned about the rules and conditions for getting permit, they gave up and did not start those experiments outside of greenhouses. According to legislation in Estonia, using GM higher plants (incl trees) in contained use does not need any special permit. Under Ministry of Environment, the Gene Technology Commission has been composed. This is an advisory body to the government and it reviewes all GMO applications (both for contained use and in the environment) and gives advice to the governmental institutions in regard of biotechnology. In principle, and if needed, they would advise government also in regard of GM trees.
If yes, please answer all remaining questions. The use of genetically modified trees is not regulated separately, this issue belongs under GMO legislation together with regulation of other GMHP-s. If somebody wants to release GM trees in Estonia, the permission should be applied for from the Ministry of Environment. As it was said before, the use of GMHPs in contained use does not need any special permit in Estonia. In this case, use of GM trees would be regulated under good laboratory practice and other existing rules. If no, please state the reason why: Estonia does not have any guidelines for using GM trees, but it is planned to work out some guidelines for GMHPs in the framework of starting UNEP/GEF Biosafety Framework Implementation Project during years 2006 – 2010.
