| Summary of the safety assessment (food safety): |
Within the scope of the powers of art. 14 of Law 11,105/05, as well as the internationally accepted criteria for evaluating the safety of genetically modified foods and raw materials, it is considered that the biosafety data of event CTC-92015-7 meet the relevant standards and legislation that aim to guarantee the biosecurity of the environment, agriculture, human and animal health. Thus, given the conditions described in the process and in this technical opinion, this activity is not potentially causing significant degradation of the environment or human/animal health. |

Country introduction: Brazil had the first biosafety law approved in 1995. After the identification of the need to improve the biosafety system of Brazilian genetically modified organisms, a new law was published. The Law 11.105 / 05 establishes a technical committee dedicated to the analysis of the safety aspects of genetically modified organisms and a council of ministers that is dedicated to the analysis of the socioeconomic aspects of the commercial release of genetically modified organisms. In this context, Brazil already has several commercial products that involve genetically modified organisms (plants, human and veterinary vaccines, microorganisms for fuel production) and products derived from new genetic modification techniques.
