The Protocol is called the Cartagena protocol after the city in Colombia, where some of the last negotiations took place. The purpose of the Cartagena protocol is to ensure an appropriate level of protection on trading crossing frontiers, handling and use of living genetic modified organisms, which can have negative effects on preserving and sustainable use of the biological diversity. On 29. January 2000 the Parties of the Convention of Biodiversity agreed on an additional agreement to the Convention, which concerns genetic modified organisms. By GMO means a living organism, which holds a new combination of genetic material, created with the help of modern biotechnology. It is central for the Protocol, that the importing countries have&nbsp;the possibility to require an evaluation of risks and&nbsp;on the basis of&nbsp;that make decisions about import of GMO’s on a well informed foundation. Both Denmark and the EU have signed and ratified the Protocol. Like the Convention on Biodiversity, the Cartagena Protocol claims that the Parties work out a national Clearing House Mechanism – the Danish Biosafety Clearing House.</font></span></p> Sustainable use tag:www.dk-chm.dk,2012-01-26:/convention/F1084971720 2012-01-26T13:47:20Z Inger Weidema anton Convention articles 8i, 10a-c, 10e Country reports and documents tag:www.dk-chm.dk,2012-01-26:/convention/document 2012-01-26T14:29:43Z Inger Weidema anton tag:www.dk-chm.dk,2011-11-22:/convention/sectionlogo.jpg 2011-11-22T17:18:04Z anton anton Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) tag:www.dk-chm.dk,2011-11-22:/convention/sigle.gif 2011-11-22T17:18:04Z anton anton Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
