Indonesia Agricultural Biotechnology Annual 2014

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

This report updates the Indonesian 2013 Agricultural Biotechnology Annual Report. The Indonesian National Biosafety Commission for Genetically Engineered Products (BCGEP) was reactivated on June 2, 2014 through the Presidential Regulation No. 53/2014. Biosafety Commission members, however, have not yet been appointed. Their appointments are expected to be confirmed by August 2014. When the BCGEP is in place and working, there is hope that the biosafety assessment process for genetically engineered (GE) products will run smoothly.
