It is imperative for China's imported genetically modified crops to increase its strong management
Recently, the reporter was informed that a research report just completed by Prof. Xia Youfu, the director of the Technical Measures Center of the China University of International Business and Economics, and his colleagues showed that since 1998 and 1999, the number of Chinese GM crops and their primary processed products imported from abroad have been rapid. rise. It is estimated that China's imports of genetically modified agricultural products soared from 80,000 tons in 1996 to 2.83 million tons in 1999, an increase of 35 times. Professor Xia pointed out that although there is currently no reliable evidence that GM crops are a “flood and beast†that endangers human and environmental safety, relevant authorities should further improve relevant policies and regulations and improve the detection of imported genetically modified crops in response to the current situation in which a large number of genetically modified crops are imported into China. And monitoring procedures to prevent problems. ■Imports of genetically modified crops soared by more than 100 times in three years, and they imported the most from the United States Professor Xia said that in recent years, as countries such as the European Union, Japan, and South Korea have implemented a labeling system for genetically modified foods, some GM growing countries are looking for new export markets. It is precisely for these reasons that the soybeans imported by China from the GM crop cultivation countries have caused soybeans. Imports of major crops and primary processed products, such as rapeseed, continued to increase. According to the statistics, in 1999, China imported 1,386,800 tons of genetically modified crops from the United States, accounting for 49%; in 1999, the number of genetically modified crops imported from Argentina increased by 238 times compared to 1996, accounting for 30% of China's total imports of genetically modified crops that year. In addition, Canada and Australia are also major importers of our country. ■Only a few more imported GM products Professor Xia believes that: "At present, the EU adopts strict control measures for genetically modified crops and its imports. Japan also requires special labeling. The sales of genetically modified products in these countries have been seriously affected and the proportion of genetically modified products flowing to other countries will inevitably increase." “Although China has not explicitly requested the labeling of imported genetically modified products, nor has it conducted comprehensive testing and inspections, it is difficult to count the actual amount of imported genetically modified products. However, at present, some of the test results in China indicate that soybeans from genetically modified countries are Most of the rapeseed, etc. are genetically modified products. Therefore, the actual imports of genetically modified products will greatly exceed the aforementioned data." Professor Xia said. ■"There is no conclusive opinion on whether genetically modified crops are angels or demons." In recent years, the issue of the safety of genetically modified foods has caused widespread controversy in the world. One view is that anti-viral transgenic plants will inevitably poison other organisms in the environment while killing target pests and germs. But also through the food chain and energy flow affect other organisms, including beneficial insects, birds, mammals and microbes. According to reports, after feeding GMO (transgenic food) corn, the mortality rate of beneficial insects and green grass bells was as high as 62%, and the adult time was slow for 3 days. After feeding GMO potato borers, the natural enemy ladybird died earlier and the reproductive rate decreased by 38%. The hatching rate is 3 times higher. This phenomenon shows that transgenic technology does have an adverse effect on non-target insects. The results of this study have aroused strong reaction, leading to the EU's cancellation of the US GMO corn import license. However, these results have caused great controversy, and some scientists believe that there is currently no reliable evidence to prove the hazards of genetically modified crops. In the debate, GM crops are characterized by high yield, low cost, and pest resistance. And it's a lot of attention. ■Labeling genetically modified crops so that consumers have the right to know and choose On January 28 last year, under the organization of the United Nations Environment Program, after arduous negotiations, the international community reached a "Biosafety Protocol." China and more than 100 countries have signed this protocol. Professor Xia believes that China should strengthen the management of imports of genetically modified products in accordance with the requirements of the Biosafety Protocol. It is reported that at present, relevant departments in China are in the framework of the "Regulations on the Safety Management of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms" promulgated in June this year to discuss specific countermeasures against genetically modified products. Professor Xia pointed out that although there is currently no reliable evidence that GM crops are a “flood and beast†that jeopardizes human and environmental security, relevant authorities should further improve relevant policies and regulations in light of China’s national conditions and environment in response to the current situation of large numbers of GM crops imported into China. Capacity, to strengthen the risk assessment of genetically modified crops and food, to establish and improve the detection and monitoring procedures for imported genetically modified crops, to take preventive measures.
