Abstract

This paper presents data and arguments on GMO nutritional purposes, assessing risks, development and production and marketing stage towards the achievement of food safety requirements. Dynamic surface is fast transgenic crops from 1.7 million hectares in 1996 to 160 million hectares in 2011. Current culture focuses on tolerance of transgenic plants to herbicides, 75% of the total (glyphosate tolerance), eliminating insect pests of plant. Situation licenses PMG: corn (65), cotton (39), rape (15), potatoes and soybeans (14 each). In our country, soybeans and corn were the only GMP grown commercially cultivated area in 2011 was ≤ 50.0000 Ha. In food, genetic engineering techniques are directed at changing the proportion of macro and micro nutrients, elimination or reduction of the compounds with adverse effect on health, introducing or increasing concentrations of substances having proper behavior. Adoption in 2004, the new EU legislation on GMOs seeks to protect the rights of producers, traders and consumers to choose and benefit from tools such as traceability, labeling and post-market monitoring. Modern biotechnology is primarily a very important source of income. GMPs global market was estimated for 2008 at $ 7.5 billion. Analyzing the stakes and implications of trade in GMO products can conclude that: there is no conventional cargo "zero GMO" products "free of GMO" are rare - higher prices by 30- 50%. Regardless of why GMOs have been created and marketed not be ignored that presents a potential risk factor.
