Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • This gazette notification proposes amendments to the Manufacture, Use, Import, Export and Storage of Hazardous Micro-Organisms/ Genetically Engineered Organisms or Cells Rules, 1989.
  • The amendments are being introduced to address concerns raised by the Supreme Court of India regarding the need for transparency and conflict of interest management in expert committees involved in decision-making processes related to genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
  • The notification introduces a code of conduct for expert members of these committees, requiring them to disclose any potential conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from discussions where such conflicts exist.

Key Changes

  • A definition of 'Conflict of Interest' is added, meaning any personal interest or association of a member that could influence the committee's decision, as viewed by an independent third party.
  • A new rule 4(A) is inserted, mandating that expert members of committees must abide by a code of conduct regarding conflict of interest, as specified in Schedule II.
  • The existing 'Schedule' is renamed to 'Schedule-I'.
  • A new 'Schedule-II' is added, outlining the code of conduct for expert members. This includes general principles, conflict of interest management procedures, and declaration forms.
  • Expert members are required to disclose any direct or indirect association with an agenda item prior to the meeting.
  • Expert members should not participate in discussions where they have a conflict of interest, except to provide professional advice if requested.
  • Expert members must submit a declaration (Form-I) upon appointment, disclosing their past affiliations for the last 10 years and committing to impartial decision-making.
  • Expert members must also disclose any specific conflict of interest related to an agenda item using Form-II, at the earliest opportunity.
