> Biosafety is defined in Belgium as "The safety for human health and the
> environment, including the protection of biodiversity, during the use of
> genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or micro-organisms (GMMs), and during
> the contained use of pathogenic organisms for humans".

Notification procedures

 

In Belgium activities involving GMOs and/or pathogens can be performed only if
they have been notified and authorised by the relevant Competent Authority(ies).
Different procedures apply depending on the type of activity and/or organism
involved.

Practical tools for risk assessment and risk management of "contained use"
activities

 

Guidelines developed to provide support to carefully assess potential biological
risks associated with activities involving GMOs and/or pathogens and for
applying appropriate risk management measures.

Belgian biosafety regulatory framework

 

In a complex institutional context, Belgium set up a biosafety regulatory
framework harmonised between the Federal State and the Regions based on a single
science-based biosafety advisory system composed of two bodies: the Biosafety
Advisory Council and the SBB.

EU biosafety regulatory framework

 

The assessment of biological risks associated with the use of GMOs and/or
pathogens is supported by a comprehensive regulatory framework, in particular at
European Union (EU) level. The EU legislation forms the basis of the
implementation of biosafety in Belgium.

Historical overview of the emergence of the concept of biosafety and its
implementation

 

The assessment of biological risks associated with the use of pathogens and/or
recombinant DNA techniques has taken shape through different periods in recent
history and through different fields.
