      I denne rapporten vurderer Vitenskapskomiteen for mat og miljø (VKM) utfordringer knyttet til helse- og miljørisikovurdering av genomredigerte organismer til mat- og fôrproduksjon. VKM har gått gjennom veiledningen for risikovurdering av genmodifiserte organismer (GMO) som Den europeiske myndighet for næringsmiddeltrygghet (EFSA) har utviklet, og vurdert om veiledningen også kan brukes til å ...

      Bergh, Øivind; Das Neves, Carlos G; Hindar, Kjetil; Høgåsen, Helga Rachel; Jelmert, Anders; Vrålstad, Trude; Agdestein, Angelika; Asmyhr, Maria Gulbrandsen; Basic, Dean; Brun, Edgar; Bøe, Knut Egil; Godfroid, Jacques; Gudding, Roar; Hoel, Kristian; Mejdell, Cecilie Marie; Mortensen, Stein; Rimstad, Espen; Hjeltnes, Brit (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2016-11-30)
      <i>Main message</i>: It seems unlikely that the Australian red claw clayfish will establish reproductive populations under Norwegian climate conditions, but hitchhiker organisms and infectious agents could potentially follow the import, and unless managed, may pose risks to biodiversity and aquatic animal health. This is the conclusion in a risk assessment from the Norwegian Scientific Committee for ...
