Ecologists in the Transnistrian region insist on the necessity of adopting a law on biological security. About 80% of the consumer goods in the region are imported and there is no mechanism for monitoring and regulating the movement of genetically modified products, the Transnistrian organization Ecospectr says. The organization proposes setting up interdepartmental commissions for ecological security in accordance with the international practices, which would regulate the import and export of genetically modified products. The commissions would be empowered to ban the products that do not meet the present norms, the director of Ecospectr Ivan Ignatiev said. The initiative is supported by the Transnistrian ministry of natural resources and ecological control, Info-Prim-Neo’s correspondent in Tiraspol reports.
