Work with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) other than microorganisms

In order to carry out laboratory work (contained use) with GMOs, the activity must be approved by the appropriate competent authority: the Swedish Board of Agriculture (plants and animals), the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (aquatic organisms). As long as the laboratory, greenhouse, aquarium, etc. meets the regulations, the competent authority will approve the facility. Please note that additional permits may be required for the activity, such as ethical approval for animal experimentation.

Clinical trials of GMO drugs are regulated by the Swedish Medical Products Agency.
