Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
1. These Regulations amend the Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) Regulations 1992 (“the Contained Use Regulations”) to take account of Regulation (EC) No. 258/97 (OJ No. L43, 14.2.97, p.1) concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients, by excluding such foods and ingredients marketed in accordance with the 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.
2. A copy of the cost benefit assessment prepared in respect of these Regulations can be obtained from the Health and Safety Executive, Economic Advisers Unit, Rose Court, 2 Southwark Bridge, London SE1 9HS. Copies have been placed in the Library of each House of Parliament.
