| Title |
Biosafety in the field of non-human gene technology |
| Publisher |
Environment Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) |
| Description |
The present research programme is dedicated to revealing possible negative effects of genetically modified plants (GMP) on the environment. The scientific basis for risk assessment by the authorities and for decision-making will be created. Four main themes comprising eight projects on poorly or up to now not at all studied aspects were chosen. The study describes the setting-up of a monitoring system accompanying cultivation, the expenditure associated with this system, as well as its limitations. It also suggests alternative options. The ethical basis for risk assessment will be discussed. This publication is only available in German.

Green gene technology |
| Publisher |
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft |
| Description |
Over the past years, few life science subjects have marked the public debate in Germany as strongly as green gene technology. Although this technology’s methods and results are very useful to basic research and practical agricultural applications, large parts of the public continue to be sceptical about or opposed to it. As a means of educational work, the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) has now published an easy to understand, richly illustrated brochure providing well-balanced reasoning on the subject. This publication is only available in German.
