The Costs of Implementing the Biosafety Protocol - A Look at China
نویسندگان
چکیده
As countries prepare to take decisions on the Biosafety Protocol’s (BSP) documentation requirements for shipments of living modified organisms (LMOs) intended for food, feed and processing (LMOs-FFP), many questions remain about the appropriate ways that the BSP might be implemented and about its potential impacts. Answers to these questions are particularly important for developing countries that are large importers of agricultural commodities and have the capacity to develop biotechnology products of their own. The International Food and Agricultural Trade Policy Council (IPC) has consistently urged parties to the BSP to assess the likely impacts of the different options. As a developing country that imports large amounts of commodities, China’s experience with regards to the BSP will be of interest to other developing countries as well. For this purpose, the IPC has commissioned a study on the economic impact of the BSP on China to be completed shortly, on which this report is based.

On the Status of Iran’s Oil Trade with China in Pre- Nuclear Deal
Energy has been the main pillar of the global growth and development. Amongst various sources of energy, oil has the largest share in the global energy consumption. As these energy reserves tend to decline, few regions, most notably the Middle East which has been at the forefront with the largest reserves, can fulfill the rising global energy demand. Even then, in view of its vast energy potent...
