GENE TECHNOLOGY ACT 2000 - SECT 39
Simplified outlineThe following is a simplified outline of this Part:
This Part provides a licensing system under which a person can apply to the Regulator for a licence authorising dealings with GMOs.
This Part sets out the processes to be followed by the Regulator in relation to applications involving 2 kinds of dealings:
(a) those that involve the intentional release of a GMO into the environment; and
(b) those that do not involve the intentional release of a GMO into the environment.
A licence can cover dealings by persons other than the licence holder. The
licence holder is required to inform such persons of any conditions of the
licence that apply to them.
