The expert claims the transgenic rice is confirmed safely It is from 3 to 5 and expected to be listed inside
Guangzhou DailyNews (specially appoint Beijing reporter Xu Jing, Wang Fei, Li Dong) National Ministry of Agriculture awards two kinds of transgenic rice safety certificates for the first time to the end of last year, Ping, JiShun Zhang 4 member of the CPPCC National Committee Wang submit motion jointly, call on urgently " scientific means assess his risk enough yet at present, should postpone the transgenic rice to commercialize " .
However, great yellow professor as one of evaluation expert, respond and claim while accepting staff reporter's exclusive special visit yesterday, the industrialization of the transgenic rice will not be postponed, it is from 3 to 5 and expected to be be listed to estimate inside.
Security Assess for over 10 years
Huang Da says, the transgenic rice products criticized have already started the appraisal of security as far back as 1999, there is transgenic rice of more than ten tons that has invested animal's experiment from beginning to end. Besides researching and developing the unit, have also trusted national disease to accuse of professional third party's organizations such as the centre,etc.'s carrying on the test, and is assessed repeatedly, confirm finally the transgenic rice is as safe as non- transgenic rice.
As for the whole course, it is yellow and big and researching and developing the data of respects of molecule characteristic,etc. that the unit offered the gene, later by the biological security council of national agriculture, including more than 60 experts in biotechnology, environmental security, food security, laws and regulations,etc., have carried on the all-round strict examination.
Competitiveness Reach the international standard
Check the result is delivered to the department border joint conference composed of 11 ministries and commissions such as agriculture, hygiene, environmental protection,etc. and examined, awarded and allows the safety certificate of the production application by the Ministry of Agriculture. "The transgenic rice conclusion is clear, technology is ripe, there is very strong international competitiveness. " Huang Da says.
Expert
Interview
Needn't have the clinical trial
Reporter: Before putting into the commodity production, have considered carrying on the human clinical trial?
Huang Da: In these ten years, the transgenic rice has been carrying on appraisal of various security, have already fully verified the conclusion out, has proved the security of it to people, to the environment, carried on a large number of animal experiments at the same time.
The security of not all food will pass the clinical trial, only medicines need.
U.S.A. had already sanctioned the security of the transgenic wheat as early as 67 years ago. They still draw the gene from the breast milk, research and develop the transgenic rice which improves immunity, and already planted for many years, the area is expanded progressively. Thus, we do not do first.
Reporter: Domestic and foreign once produced some food security incidents that the GM food appeared, this has strengthened people's worry to the GM food.
Huang Da: As to these incidents, all of us have paid the high concern. Up to collect the relevant case about 16 pieces together last year, however, were investigated and verified, precise evidence does not indicate the transgenosis is so technological as to go wrong itself. Also producing some place of Guangxi for the previous period plants the transgenic corn, the person causes sperm's inactivation after eating, made clear later, it was sheerly a baseless gossip.
