Research On Legal Regulation Of Genetically Modified Food Industrialization In My Country

With the development of genetic engineering technology,China’s genetically modified food research and development technology has gradually matured and started experimental commercialization in industrialization,which heralds the arrival of the era of industrialization of genetically modified food.However,there have been controversies about the safety and ecological pollution of genetically modified foods,and more problems will arise after industrialization,so it is important to study the legal regulation of the industrialization of genetically modified foods.In 2019,China officially introduced and implemented the Biosafety Law,which constitutes the current legal regulatory system for genetically modified food in China together with the previous regulations such as the Measures for the Administration of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms Safety and the Measures for the Supervision of Food Safety of Genetically Modified Organisms.However,this legal system lacks implementation details,and the regulatory authority is mainly given to local governments and institutions,lacking unified supervision at the national level,while public participation in supervision is also deficient.Genetically modified foods are highly integrated technically and highly relevant to people’s livelihoods,and these characteristics are accentuatedwith the development of their industrialization.At the same time,new characteristics of high industrial interest and high strategic competition have emerged.These characteristics must be addressed to improve the relevant laws and regulations to strengthen the regulation.In addition,foreign countries such as the United States,the European Union and Japan have formulated their own legal policies in accordance with their actual conditions,such as national acceptance,the development of genetically modified technology and the demand for genetically modified food industrialization.Therefore,China should also regulate the industrialization of genetically modified food according to its national conditions and actual needs.In order to achieve seamless regulation from farm to table,it is necessary to strengthen administrative supervision and public participation,and to improve the existing legal system.On the basis of comprehensive and effective regulation in advance,we should improve the emergency response capability in the middle of the process,and improve the punishment and remedy system afterwards,so as to ensure that the industrialization of genetically modified food is under complete and strict regulation and promote its healthy development.Specifically,the legislative and enforcement mechanisms of genetically modified food safety can be improved from the perspectives of legislative basis of genetically modified food,administrative supervision mechanism,emergency handling and recourse mechanism,and public supervision mechanism,etc.,and suggestions and countermeasures can be optimized to provide legal guarantee for the safe and orderly development of genetically modified food industrialization in China.
