<< Could these people be behind the stall in Vietnam? >>

The stall in Vietnam is due to KBLB and KBLB alone. KBLB hasn't provided the proper documentation yet to MARD from the State Dept. and the USDA.

"A representative from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has received a dossier from Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (USA) for the project to import and produce genetically modified silkworms (spider silkworms). After considering the dossier, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) found that the dossier was missing: (1) The biosafety certificate granted for the gene transfer event to the silkworm variety meeting the requirements in Article 22, Article 23 Decree 69/2010 / ND-CP dated 21 June 2010 of the Government on management of biological safety of genetically modified organisms. (2) License for use of genetically modified (AI) silkworms in US Department of Agriculture (USDA) mass production."
