Part 2: Precision Bred Organisms, Release, Marketing, and Risk Assessments Release and marketing: general provisions 25: Precision bred animal marketing authorisation: adverse effects
Subsection (1) enables the Secretary of State to specify in regulations subject to the affirmative procedure when the health or welfare of a precision bred animal or its qualifying progeny is, or is not, considered to be adversely affected by a trait which results from precision breeding. This would allow the Secretary of State to establish thresholds for assessing risk or exceptions which may need to be considered as part of the decision to issue, suspend, or revoke a precision bred animal marketing authorisation.
	Subsection (2) specifies that regulations made under this section are subject to the draft affirmative procedure.
