The Genetically Modified Organisms (Deliberate Release) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2019
Regulations 3 to 8 of these Regulations amend the Genetically Modified Organisms (Deliberate Release) (Wales) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/3188 (W. 304)) (“the 2002 Regulations”). The 2002 Regulations implement Directive 2001/18/EC relating to the deliberate release of genetically modified organisms (“the 2001 Directive”). These amendments are necessary to implement Commission Directive (EU) 2018/350 amending Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the environmental risk assessment of genetically modified organisms (O.J. No L 67, 9.3.2018, p. 30) (“the 2018 Directive”).
