Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Used) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999
These Regulations amend the Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1994 (“the Contained Use Regulations”) to take account of Regulation (EC) No. 258/97 (O.J. No. L43, 14.2.97, p. 1) (“the EC Regulation”) concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients, by excluding such foods and ingredients marketed in accordance with the EC Regulation from the requirement for certain work with genetically modified micro-organisms to be undertaken in conditions of contained use. The Regulations also amend the Contained Use Regulations, insofar as they relate to genetically modified organisms which are not genetically modified micro-organisms, to exclude such foods and ingredients from that requirement.
