The Research Of China’s GM Food Safety Regulatory Issues

The emergence of genetically modified (gm) technology makes the crop yield increased significantly, to a certain extent solved the worldwide food shortages, has brought in hunger and poverty in the people’s hope of survival. However, genetically modified food has a potential risk, the risk of the incubation period may grow up to a few years or more than ten years, even decades, so genetically modified food should be strictly regulated.Genetically modified food safety regulatory organization is genetically modified food safety regulatory responsibility undertaker, genetically modified (gm) food safety regulatory organization in China is mainly divided into two levels, level1is the ministry of agriculture as the leading national ministries and its subordinate institutions, the second is a delegate with genetically modified organisms safety management office of the provincial or ministerial regulation organization, and system of joint conference for ministry.Genetically modified food safety regulation in China, there are many problems in from the legal.Angle for legislative level is low, the legal system is not sound; From the regulatory way, there are multiple management and management there missing phenomenon; Regulatory organization during the process of executing subject is not clear, sometimes at the same time play a dual role. Causes of the problems a is that we don’t have much to the dangers of genetically modified food; The second is influenced by now, the pattern of economic development in our country; The large number three is regulatory organization, lack of communication and cooperation between organizations; Four is within the organization "lazy" phenomenon; The power of the five is the regulatory organizations divide imbalance; In addition, the lack of effective administrative supervision.The European Union and the United States in genetically modified (gm) food safety regulatory accumulated many experiences, they mostly have perfect laws and regulations, strict safety assessment system are independent of each other and closely related regulatory organizations, these has an important enlightenment for genetically modified food safety regulation in China.The new historical period, we should combine China’s national conditions, draw lessons from foreign successful experience of supervision, the supervision model of development with Chinese characteristics, improve the legislative level, strengthening the supervision and execution supervision organization, further enhance the genetically modified food safety regulation in China.
