Team:TU-Delft/Meet with RIVM
From 2013.igem.org
Meeting with the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment
During May, we had the opportunity to meet the people from the GMO department of the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment(RIVM). The aim of that meeting was to discuss about:
- current regulations
- how is it perceived from the related parties?
- what possible changes should we make for the ideal regulation?
Balance of regulation vs. innovation
- Do you get complaints from researchers on the current legislation? Does it impede innovation?
Researchers will complain when safety rules are delaying their work, which is to be expected, but we don’t see it very often.
