Abstract: Spain's 1994 law on GMOs does barely more than transpose the content of EC Directives 90/219 and 90/220 on biotechnology. Its enactment involved complex negotiations about how to share responsibility, at Ministerial and regional levels, more than about how to define the biosafety issues, which have hardly entered the environmental debate in Spain. Government administrators were influenced mainly by a small group of Spanish scientists familiar with the international biosafety discussions. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
