Abstract
Palielinoties pasaules iedzīvotāju skaitam, modernās tehnoloģijas (gēnu inženierija) ir
palīdzējušas apmierināt arvien pieaugošās vajadzības pēc pārtikas un šķiedraugu resursiem,
palielinot ražas daudzumu. Mūsdienu tehnoloģijas rīki selekcionāriem ļauj izvēlēties atsevišķus
gēnus, kas rada vēlamās šķirnes, un pārvietot gēnus no viena auga uz otru. Mūsdienās ģenētiski
modificētas pārtikas un lopbarības kultūras ir ienākušas gandrīz katrā pārtikas tirgū visā
pasaulē. ĢMO drošība ir strīdīgs temats pētījumu ierobežojumu dēļ, un pieaugošais sabiedrības
spiediens liek katrai valstij noteikt īpašus likumus, lai regulētu ģenētiski modificēto organismu
bioloģisko drošību. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt atšķirības starp Eiropas un Amerikas Savienoto Valstu
bioloģiskās drošības noteikumiem. Eiropas Savienībā (ES) ir ieviests visaptverošs un stingrs tiesiskais režīms
attiecībā uz ģenētiski modificētiem organismiem (ĢMO). Tas ir paredzēts, lai novērstu jebkādu
nelabvēlīgu ietekmi uz vidi un cilvēku un dzīvnieku veselību un drošību, un tas atspoguļo
skeptiski noskaņoto patērētāju, lauksaimnieku un vides aizstāvju paustās bažas. ASV pieeja
ĢMO regulēšanai ir balstīta uz pieņēmumu, ka regulējumā galvenā uzmanība jāpievērš
produktu veidam, nevis procesam, kurā tie ražoti.
With the increase in global population, the modern technology (genetic engineering) has helped to meet the ever – increasing needs for food and fibre resources by increasing crop yields. The tools of modern technology have enabled breeders to select single genes that produce desired traits and move genes from one plant to another. Today Genetically modified food and feed crops have entered almost every food market across the world. The safety of GMO stays a controversial topic due to limitations of studies and the increase public pressure has led every country set specific rules and regulations to regulate the biosafety of Genetically Modified Organisms. This research aims to study the difference between the biosafety regulations between Europe and the Unites States. This research aims to study the difference between the biosafety regulations between Europe and the Unites States. The European Union (EU) has in place a comprehensive and strict legal regime on genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It is designed in to prevent any adverse effects on the environment and the health and safety of humans and animals, and it reflects concerns expressed by sceptical consumers, farmers, and environmentalists. The US approach to regulating GMOs is premised on the assumption that regulation should focus on the nature of products, rather than the process in which they were produced
