About this service
Description
If you wish to market a product containing live genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the European Union, you must submit an application for authorisation to the competent authority of a Member State. If the product is is not intended for food, feed or medicinal products, the application for authorisation is in Finland submitted to the Board for Gene Technology.
How to use it
If you are planning to submit an authorisation application, contact the Board for Gene Technology.
Conditions
All EU Member States participate in the processing of the application and in practice, the approval process will take several years. If a product is granted marketing authorisation, it is always fixed-term. If the trader is established in another EEA state and provides services in Finland on a temporary basis, they are required to have the same permits as the traders established in Finland.
Fee details
The Board for Gene Technology will charge a fee for processing the application.
