4 The 32 member countries of OECD are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States. The Environment Directorate provides governments with the analytical l basis to develop policies i that are effective and economically efficient, including through country performance reviews, data collection, policy analysis, projections and modeling, and the development of common approaches. Biosafety - BioTrack Online focuses on information related to the regulatory oversight of products of modern biotechnology, including genetically engineered organisms or transgenic organisms, in the field of the environmental safety and the food and feed safety. It includes various Consensus/Guidance Documents, Product Database, regulatory contacts of member countries, and Field Trials Database. The outcome of this work program is intended to be used by governments, industry and other stakeholders. The major component of the program is the development of consensus documents, which provide common information for environmental risk/safety ik/ assessment. THE CHEMICALS COMMITTEE AND THE WORKING PARTY ON CHEMICALS, PESTICIDES AND BIOTECHNOLOGY: Working group on Harmonization of Regulatory Oversight in Biotechnology; Working group on Safety of Novel Foods and Feeds.
5 Consensus Documents for the Work on Harmonization of Regulatory Oversight in Biotechnology. Examples of Consensus Documents: No. 48, Consensus Document on the Biology of Bananas and Plantains (Musa spp.)(2009); No. 45, Consensus Document on the Biology of Cotton (Gossypium spp.)(2008); No. 36, Consensus Document on the Biology of Capsicum annuum Complex (Chili peppers, Hot peppers and Sweet peppers) ( ); No. 33, Consensus Document on the Biology of Papaya (Carica papaya)( ); No. 31, Consensus Document on the Biology of Helianthus annuus L. (Sunflower) (2004); No. 27, Consensus Document on the Biology of Zea mays subsp. mays (Maize) (2003); No. 24, Consensus Document on the Biology of Prunus spp. (Stone Fruits) (2002); No. 18, Consensus Document on the Biology of Beta vulgaris L. (Sugar Beet) (2001); No. 15, Consensus Document on the Biology of Glycine max (L.) Merr. (Soybean) (2000); No. 14, Consensus Document on the Biology of Oryza sativa (Rice) (1999).

7 Gene Flow and the Risk and Consequences of Transgene Spread Vertical x Horizontal Gene Transfer What are the implications i for growing an specific genetically modified d crop? Cross-pollination (and consequently vertical gene flow) occurs between sexually compatible species/crops in agricultural habitats. Likelihood of cross-pollination is determined by the proximity of sexually compatible crops/plant species and where there is synchronous flowering. Plants are: Allogamous (reproducing by cross-fertilization), Autogamous (reproducing by selffertilization), or mix. Distance viable pollen can travel is influenced by the dispersal mechanism and pollen longevity - both of which are species dependent. Pollination falls off rapidly with distance but the distance at which pollination is zero is difficult to determine with accuracy. Many plant species can be found both as a crop and a weed. Change in hbi habitat may potentially ill result in the evolution of a weed from a cultivated plant or from a feral (feral organism is one that has escaped from domestication and returned, partly or wholly, to a wild state) that is closely related to a cultivated species. Consequences of transfer of novel genes from GM crops to weeds depend not only on physical distribution but on the natureof the geneand the biology and ecology of the recipient. i Must be a case-by by-case analysis

10 Taxonomy & Origin: Until recently, the Caricaceae was thought to comprise 31 species in threegenera(namelycarica, Jacaratia and Jarilla) from tropical America and one genus, Cylicomorpha, from equatorial Africa (Nakasone & Paull 1998). However, a recent taxonomic revision proposed that some species formerly assigned to Carica were more appropriately classified in the genus Vasconcella (Badillo 2002). Accordingly, the family s classification has been revised to comprise Cylicomorpha and five South and Central American genera (Carica, Jacaratia,, Jarilla,, Horovitzia and Vasconcella) ) (Badillo 1971), with Carica papaya the only species within the genus Carica (Badillo 2002). Although opinions differ on the origin of C. papaya in tropical America (see Garrett 1995), it is likely that C. papaya originates from the lowlands of eastern Central America, from Mexico to Panama (Nakasone & Paull 1998). Its seeds were distributed to the Carribean and south-east Asia during Spanish exploration in the 16 th Century, from where it spread rapidly to India, the Pacific and Africa (Villegas 1997).

12 Transgenic vs. Intragenic vs. Cisgenic: No relation with biossafety; Public perception; Seek different regulation: Same as conventional breeding. Generate confusion; and Cisgenesis is not possible for some species.
