South Korea: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
In September 2024, a National Assembly member submitted a draft revision of the Act on Transboundary Movements of Living Modified Organisms, commonly referred to as the LMO Act. This draft bill defines organisms derived from genome editing technology that do not use or contain foreign genes in final products as a new category, distinct from Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) and thus not subject to the same requirements mandated by the current LMO Act, including risk assessments.
