6.6 IMPORT OF GENETICALLY MANIPULATED ORGANISMS OR MATERIAL 6.6.1 Importation or possession of GMOs, not relating to human health, is regulated under Section 9 of the Animals and Birds Act (Cap 7). 6.6.2 Importation or procurement to import specific biological agents and toxins, which is capable of causing death, disease of malfunction in a human, as those specified under the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth Schedules, is regulated under the Biological Agents and Toxins Act (Act 36 of 2005). 6.6.3 Work with imported genetically manipulated viral genomes, micro-organisms, plants or animals fall under the extent of these Guidelines. Investigators should seek the approval of the relevant regulatory agency for intended import and submit a proposal for assessment if appropriate. Appendix 19 contains a list of regulated organisms. These should be taken in tandem with those specified by existing legislation. 6.6.4 Permission should be obtained from the relevant agency to import all biological materials, including transgenic micro-organisms, plants and animals. Permission can be obtained by submitting an ‘Application for Import Permit’ to the appropriate quarantine officer given on the form. The form is available from: For Plants, Animals, plant-related or animal-related pathogens and pests: Head, Import Export Division Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) 5, Maxwell Road, #02-03 Tower Block, MND Complex Singapore 069110 Fax: 6325-7648 For Human related pathogens: Head, Biosafety Branch, Ministry of Health (MOH) College of Medicine Building 16 College Road , Singapore 169685 Tel: 6325 8347 / 1341 / 8342 Fax: 6325 4679 Email: MOH_Biosafety@moh.gov.sg Website: http://www.biosafety.moh.gov.sg For Human related pests: Head, Environmental Health Institute, National Environment Agency (NEA) 41 Science Park Road #03-24/28 The Gemini Singapore Science Park II Singapore 117610 Fax: 6777 8029 Page 23
6.6.5 The form should contain any relevant information about the genetically manipulated material which falls within these Guidelines. In particular, the following information should be included if appropriate: • details of the donor organism, which is the DNA source and characteristics of the genes transferred; • the method or vector used to transfer the DNA to the host organism; • host organism; • complete details should be provided if a plant or animal is infected with a genetically manipulated micro-organism. • Risk assessment on import, handling and transport of the genetically manipulated material. 6.6.6 If appropriate, the relevant agency may make the information provided on this form available to the GMAC, or to other assessors, and may request specific information about any aspect of the genetically manipulated material. GMAC’s assessment of the Application to Import will be accelerated if a small-scale proposal for the work has already been received. Page 24
