Reglerne bør således omfatte krav om en række undersøgelser, der skal indgå i alle ansøgninger, samt om de testmetoder, der skal anvendes til udførelsen af sådanne undersøgelser, under hensyntagen til de relevante internationale standarder, såsom retningslinjerne fra Codex Alimentarius for vurdering af sikkerheden ved fødevarer afledt af genmodificerede planter (»Codex Guideline for the Conduct of Food Safety Assessment of Foods Derived from Recombinant-DNA Plants«) [5].
These rules should therefore provide for a set of studies that should be included in all applications, as well as the test methods to be followed to perform such studies, whilst taking into account relevant international standards, such as the guideline of the Codex Alimentarius for the conduct of safety assessment of foods derived from the recombinant-DNA plant [5].
