Many departments of Fujian jointly send the documents and forbid selling the transgenic rice
According to sound " begging the wide news " of China, many departments of Fujian Province jointly issue " notice on strengthening transgenic rice and supervising ", the notice claims to come to Fujian Province to receive the report that the market sold the transgenic rice successively this year, the various circles of society have disputes to security and potential risk of the transgenic rice at present, our country has not sanctioned the transgenic rice to enter commercial production yet, in order to guarantee the edible security of the people's rice, require every link to check the transgenic rice severely in Fujian Province. Details we are wired Ge ChaoXing, reporter of Chinese Central Television:
Host: What is the transgenic rice? Which distinguish, which potential risks does it have there are transgenic rice and ordinary rice?
Reporter: The transgenic rice that we say is through changing the gene of the rice artificially, make it have rice that a kind of rice of better properties formed out. Generally if the mark, it is very difficult for us to distinguish. Compared with ordinary rice the transgenic rice may resist waterlogging, fight a drought, resist properties of insect pest,etc. even more, and increased protein content,etc. in the rice. But the various circles of society have disputes to security and potential risk of the transgenic rice at present, for example, the transgenic most advanced country of research --Stipulate but clearly the transgenic food noes entering the mankind's market of grain in U.S.A., that is to say, in U.S.A., the transgenic food is not allowed to be regarded as food by the government. For example, the transgenic corn will kill the male sperm, cause sterility. A foreign research company has already verified this.
The rice expert of our country Yuan LongPing has ever said, the government should especially sanction the commercialization of transgenic plant cautiously. Because at present, the scientist still can't totally foresee which kind of mutation to may cause to the living beings transgenic transformation, perhaps cause danger to environment and the mankind. Though the experiment is very ripe, the influence that the transgenic food may cause to the mankind, perhaps will appear after several generations in the future.
Host: At present, are processing and transgenic rice of sale the illegal activities in our country? What measures are taken to guarantee the edible security of masses' rice in Fujian?
Reporter: According to the relevant regulation of our country, the transgenic rice produces and needs to get the transgenic safety certificate that the Ministry of Agriculture awarded, and authorize through the variety, after getting seed production licence and seed business liscence, can enter commercial production. But up until now, our country has not organized the transgenic rice variety to appraise yet, have not sanctioned the transgenic rice yet and entered commercial production. Plant without permission, the processing and transgenic rice of sale and processing belonging to the illegal activities of the products.
Require departments such as the regional grain, agriculture, industry and commerce,etc. to strengthen the propaganda of the biological safety management regulation of the transgenosis to train in Fujian, the ones that should strengthen stored grain, policy and deal in transgenic rice of link with the grain especially check on, to the suspicious transgenic rice, should organize sampling, inspecting by ready samples, find the rice of the transgenic composition, report to local administrative responsibile institution of agriculture in time, investigate and prosecute the transgenic grain case at the same time, safeguard the normal order of market of grain in accordance with the law.
