Pham Viet Tich, Director of the Quang Nam Department of Science and Technology, said that the import of hybrid silkworms must be approved by the US side to be imported into Vietnam
mard were not at the meeting,the comments about mard were part of the revision at the meeting from oct 4.
the ministry of science and technology and mard need to be satisfied.
my belief has been phase 1 trial falls under PROVISION FOR LABORATORY GMO ministry of science and technology handle that process.
the duy xuyen government website stated in an article in may kbl have been allowed by the Ministry of Science and Technology to set up a genetically engineered silkworm laboratory suitable for research with that info,i believe rice when he says they can import and start working.
next will be TRIAL AGENCY CERTIFICATE OF GMO PROCEDURE OF PROVISION FOR GMO TRIAL this is handled by mard
At present, they are awaiting verification results from mard. i believe the above statement refers to the gmo trial applications.
once mard is happy with the trial results,kbl gets the 50 year land lease and can build the new facility.
i don't believe mard or most are asking for more,they simply want kbl to follow the process. kbl hoped they could speed it up and start dai loc construction in 2018 instead of 2019.
