The Protocol requires each Party to take necessary and appropriate legal, administrative
and other measures to implement its obligations under the Protocol.
Belgium has already adopted during the past years a comprehensive domestic regulatory
framework in order to prevent the potential adverse effects on human health and
the environment which might arise from the use of living modified organisms (LMOs)
- referred to in Belgium as GMOs (genetically modified organisms).
Most Belgian legislation related to LMOs (GMOs) implements or enforces European
Community
(EC) legislation.
The present chapter aims at presenting the main elements of this domestic regulatory framework.
Imports
of LMOs
destined for contained use
Imports
of LMOs
destined for intentional introduction into the environment
Imports
of LMOs
intended for direct use as food or feed, or for processing (LMO-FFPs)
Exports

to third countries
