Introduction to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety Training Workshop for Regional Advisors Bangkok, Thailand 15 – 27 May 2006

What is the CPB ? The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CPB) is an international agreement (treaty), concluded and adopted in the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).

What is the CPB ? The Protocol is called the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety after the city in Colombia where it was originally scheduled to be concluded and adopted. The Protocol was agreed in January 2000, and it entered into force on 11 September 2003.

Purpose of the CPB? “...to contribute to ensuring an adequate level of protection in the field of the safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms (LMOs) resulting from modern biotechnology..

Purpose of the CPB? …..that may have adverse effects on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, taking also into account risks to human health, and focusing, in particular, on transboundary movements.”

Exclusions? Article 5 LMOs that are pharmaceuticals for humans are excluded from the provisions of the Protocol on transboundary movement if they are covered by other international agreements or arrangements.

Advance Informed Agreement (AIA) The Advance Informed Agreement (AIA) procedure LMOs for intentional introduction into the environment

Advance Informed Agreement AIA procedure is designed to ensure before a LMO is imported into a country that: a) Is notified about the proposed import b) Receives full information about the LMO and its intended use

c) Has an opportunity to assess the risks associated with that LMO and to decide whether or not to allow the import

Exceptions to AIA? The Protocol’s AIA procedure does not apply to: (i) LMOs in transit; (ii) LMOs destined for contained use in the Party of import; (iii) LMOs intended for direct use as food or feed or for processing (LMOs-FFP)

Elements of the decision making process: a) The decision of the Party of import must be based on a risk assessment. b) Parties may also take into account certain socio-economic considerations in making a decision whether or not to allow the import of a LMO.

c) The Protocol allows Parties to take decisions based on the precautionary approach: “ where there is a lack of scientific certainty due to insufficient scientific information and knowledge regarding the extent of possible adverse effects of a LMO”.

LMOs for -FFP B. LMOs for direct use as food or feed, or for processing (LMOs-FFP)11 For example, bulk shipments containing genetically modified corn, soybeans or other agricultural commodities that are intended for direct use as food or animal feed or for processing, but are not intended for use as seeds.

LMOs Unintentional transboundary movements The Protocol recognizes that, because of their characteristics, there may be circumstances in which LMOs will cross national boundaries accidentally. a) notify affected or potentially affected States, the BCH and relevant international organisations with information on the unintentional release.

LMOs Unintentional transboundary movements b) initiate immediate consultation with the affected or potentially affected States to enable them to determine response and emergency measures.

LMOs Handling, Packaging and Labeling Parties are required to take measures for the safe handling, packaging and transportation of LMOs. The Protocol provides for the possible future development of standards for handling, packaging, transport and identification of LMOs by the governing body of the Protocol.

What do the CPB requires? The Protocol requires Parties to promote and facilitate public awareness, education and participation on biosafety and to ensure that the public has access to information on LMOs that may be imported.

CPB and BCH? In order to implement the Protocol, Parties, and other entities (e.g. exporters; importers) dealing with LMOs, need access to information about applicable laws and regulations affecting LMOs, and about LMOs themselves. The Protocol establishes the Biosafety Clearing House.
