The objectives of this law are to: Implement the precautionary approach on biosafety; Prevent adverse impact on the conservation of biodiversity and natural resources in the Kingdom of Cambodia caused by the transboundary movement, development, handling, transfer, use, storage, and release of living modified organisms resulting from modern biotechnology; Ensure effective conservation of biodiversity and sustainable use of biological resources, taking also into account risks to human health; 34 Provide a transparent process for making and reviewing decisions on living modified organisms and related activities and operations; Develop biotechnology education while preventing environmental and health hazards associated with the use and release of living modified organisms; Article 2. Technical terms used in this law shall have the following meaning: ”Applicant” means a legal or natural person that notifies its intent to use living modified organisms and/or applies for prior approval to import into or export from the Kingdom of Cambodia any living modified organism for any purpose; ”Biosafety” is a word to describe efforts to reduce and eliminate the potential risks resulting from biotechnology and its products. ”Contained use” means any operation, undertaken within a facility, installation or other physical structure, which involves living modified organisms that are controlled by specific measures that effectively limit their contact with, and their impact on, the external environment; ”Intentional introduction of LMOs into the environment” means the deliberate use of LMOs subject to this act that is not contained use, including field release and planting, release into water and/or air, placing on the market for sale, free gifts/samples and donations but not including LMOs imported for direct use as food or feed, or for processing; ”Living modified organism (LMO)” means any living organism that possesses a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology; ”Living organism” means any biological entity capable of transferring or replicating genetic material, including sterile organisms, viruses and viroids; ”Modern biotechnology” means the application of: 35 a.

Fusion of cells beyond the taxonomic family, that overcome natural physiological reproductive or recombination barriers and that are not techniques used in traditional breeding and selection. Article 3. This law shall apply to the import and export, contained use, intentional introduction into the environment, and direct use as food or feed or for processing of living modified organisms that may have an adverse effect on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, taking also into account risks to human health. This law shall not apply to: Living modified organisms that are pharmaceuticals for human use that are addressed by relevant international agreements and/or organizations; Living modified organisms in transit through but not destined for use in the Kingdom of Cambodia; Any other categories of living modified organisms that may be exempted by the National Competent Authority; and Any processed products containing dead modified organisms or non-living components of genetically modified organisms. Article 4.

CHAPTER II Institutional Arrangements Article 6. In collaboration with other concerned ministries, the Ministry of Environment shall manage and control all activities and operations involving LMOs covered by this law.

As the National Competent Authority, the Ministry of Environment shall be responsible for the administrative functions required to implement this law. These functions shall include timely notification to other States, the Biosafety Clearing-House, and relevant international organizations of any event in the Kingdom of Cambodia that may result in the unintentional trans-boundary movement of an LMO. An authorized official of the Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with designated officers from Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, may enter and inspect the premises where any activities or operations involving LMOs covered by this law are being, or have been, carried out, take samples and/or confiscate LMOs to facilitate further investigation. Article 8. The Royal Government shall establish, following a proposal by the Ministry of Environment, a Scientific Advisory Team (SAT) to provide scientific and other technical advice to the Ministry of Environment in reviewing the applications, applications, risk assessments and approvals, and in setting standards for facilities, operations and activities involving LMOs subject to this law. Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries shall be the chairperson and Ministry of Environment shall be vice-chairperson for the SAT. Article 9. The Royal Government shall establish a National Steering Committee for Biosafety chaired by the Minister for Environment to serve as the leading body in the development of a biosafety policy and strategic planning. 38 CHAPTER III Import of LMOs Article 10. The first import of an LMO into the Kingdom of Cambodia for contained use shall be subject to risk assessment and approval by the Ministry of Environment prior to application to the concerned competent authority for the import permit.
