ERMA
New Zealand
 www.ermanz.govt.nz
DESCRIPTION: The Environmental Risk Management Authority. The Authority's main role
is to make decisions on applications to import, develop, or field test
new
organisms; or to import or manufacture hazardous substances. These applications
are made under Part V of the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act
(HSNO) 1996. The public register of applications and approvals can be found
on the ERMA New Zealand's website at www.ermanz.govt.nz.
Any person who intends to import, develop, field test or release a new organism,
including a genetically modified organism must first gain approval from
the Authority.
The Authority does not make decisions on genetically modified food. The
import or labelling of genetically modified food is covered by the Food
Act and Food
Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) . However, the HSNO Act
does cover the genetic modification of living organisms that may later
be consumed as food e.g. vegetables or dairy cattle. For example, the Authority
would cover the development or import of a genetically modified tomato
plant,
but does not control the import of cans of soup made from a GM tomato crop.
