1. Introduction<br />
Preliminary remarks<br />
With the adoption <strong>of</strong> the Ordinance on the Contained Use <strong>of</strong> Organisms (Containment Ordinance, CO) the<br />
federal government gave the Swiss Agency for the Environment, Forests and Landscape (SAEFL) a mandate<br />
to compile lists <strong>of</strong> classified <strong>organisms</strong> and biological containment systems (Art. 22 CO). The purpose<br />
<strong>of</strong> these lists is to simplify and harmonise implementation <strong>of</strong> the Containment Ordinance and the related<br />
Ordinance on Occupational Safety in Biotechnology (SAMV).<br />
The SAEFL submits these lists to the Federal Office <strong>of</strong> Public Health (FOPH), the Federal Veterinary Office<br />
(FVO), the Swiss Federal Office for Agriculture (SFOA), the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs<br />
(seco), the Swiss National Accident Insurance Organisation (SUVA), the Swiss Expert Committee for Biosafety<br />
(SECB) and the Working Group <strong>of</strong> the Cantonal Enforcement Authorities (ERFA Bio) for their<br />
views. The SAEFL publishes the present list in agreement with the above-mentioned federal authorities.<br />
