"Even if the progress made and efficiency achieved in agricultural, crop and animal production are inconceivable without the major discoveries made in the field of genetics, we need to devise the optimum biosecurity measures for using genetically modified micro-organisms in contained conditions as we need to respect the precautionary principle so that we can protect human health and the environment. It is definitely the case that nowadays mankind would have been worse off and more strife-torn without the discoveries made by Mendel, followed by those of Morgan, Crick and Watson. However, it is clear that the procedures for obtaining, testing, using and commercialising genetically modified organisms (GMO), whether plants, animals or micro-organisms, must be subject in every country to a special scheme of regulation, authorisation and administration, which will set out a legal and institutional framework, intended to eliminate or reduce the risks of producing any negative effects."@en1
