GMO, Article 2, Definitions

(2) „Genetically modified organism (GMO)" means an organism, with the exception of human beings, in which the genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination;

Within the terms of this definition:

(a) genetic modification occurs at least through the use of the

techniques listed in Annex I A, part 1;

(b) the techniques listed in Annex I A, part 2, are not considered to result in genetic modification;

Annex I A, Part 1, Dir. 2001/18/EC

Techniques of genetic modification referred to in Article 2 (2) (i) are inter alia:

(1) …genetic material produced (prepared) outside an organism … (i) forming new combinations by insertion into a vector … and (ii) incorporation into organism …capable of continued propagation

(2) … heritable material prepared outside … introduced into an organism

(3) … cell fusion … forming new combinations of genetic material by means of methods … not naturally

Cartagene Protocol on Biosafety

Article 3, Use of Terms

(h) "Living organism" means any biological entity capable of transferring or replicating genetic material, including sterile organisms, viruses and viroids;

(i) "Modern biotechnology" means the application of:

a. In vitro nucleic acid techniques, including recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and direct injection of nucleic

acid into cells or organelles, or

b. 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;
