GENE TECHNOLOGY REGULATIONS 2001 - REG 48

Techniques that are not gene technology

    The amendments of Schedule   1A made by the amending regulations apply in relation to a technique on or after the commencement day, regardless of whether the technique was applied before, on or after that day.

Note:   The effect of this regulation includes that an organism that was a GMO immediately before the commencement day may cease to be a GMO from when the amendments commence, even if:

(a)   a technique applied to modify the organism before the commencement day was gene technology at the time it was applied; or

(b)   the organism inherited a trait, from another organism, that occurred in that other organism because of a technique that was gene technology at the time it was applied.
