Abstract
Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity dealt with uncertain and unknown risk and adopted precautionary approach. The Bill of the "Act on Ensuring Biological Diversity by Regulating the Utilization of Living Modified Organisms" provides that he who utilizes LMOs is required to be confirmed by the Government. The utilization of LMOs is divided into two types, the utilization in closed room, second-class use, and the other utilization, first-class use. The competent minister shall make a decision on the impact of the utilization of LMOs after hearing from experts and citizens. Risk benefit analysis is not adopted in the confirmation process. Monitoring in the case of release of LMOs into the environment will be provided under code of first-class utilization. It seems that the issue how to secure the prevention of environmental damages caused by LMOs left behind as a future problem.
