Ministry of agriculture: industrialization of transgenic no timetable a positive approach cautiously | | | GM agricultural products _ the Ministry of agriculture news

On January 15, the Ministry of agriculture held the 2014 opening press conference, Vice Minister of agriculture Chen Xiaohua introduced the agricultural products quality and safety monitoring the situation.

According to data of the Ministry of agriculture, just past 2013, vegetables, animal products and aquatic products qualification rate of five, 96.6% and 99.7% respectively, an increased over the previous year, agricultural products quality safety overall stability.

Chen Xiaohua said in a agricultural producing countries and consuming nations like China, that face small and scattered production and operation, to avoid systemic and regional agricultural product safety problems, monitor difficult task.

December 2013, the State Council issued the regulation on the strengthening of agricultural products quality safety supervision notice, also known as the "eight steps". The circular pointed out that dispersed agricultural production and management, weak supervision and quality safety of agricultural products is still big risks. To this end, the State will strengthen the territorial management responsibility, quality and safety of agricultural products into the scope of County and township-level people's Government performance assessment, clear examination and evaluation, supervision and supervision measures.

Central rural work Conference convened by the end of 2013 also emphasized that sources of food safety in agricultural products, based in agriculture, must be the root, first grasp the quality of agricultural products. With the most stringent standards, the most stringent regulatory and accountability of the most severe penalties, the most serious, and ensure that the broad masses of "tongue on security."

Chen Xiaohua was reaffirmed in the publication of "eight measures", in the highlight on the control at source, in recent years China has created 639 demonstration County of standardization production; focused links, highlighted at the regional agricultural products main producing area and main selling area, priority control of major grain-producing areas.

On the central rural work Conference held earlier, Central leaders also stressed that the source of food safety in agricultural products, based on agriculture, so both "pipe", but also "middle class".

In the "tube", Chen Xiaohua pointed out that next focuses on the question of agricultural and veterinary drug residues exceeding, illegally adding hazardous substance issues and fake agricultural means of regulation, the Ministry of agriculture has developed a training programme this year, with an emphasis on strict inspections and strict, case as an important standard to measure out.

In "production", said Chen Xiaohua, in conjunction with the implementation of the central authorities first, and the spirit of the central rural work Conference, to development of family farms, farmers ' cooperatives and agriculture industrialization of production plants, through the Organization to ensure quality and safety.

Chen Xiaohua said the Ministry of agriculture plans to create a new standard of horticultural crops this year, 1800 standards of scale livestock and poultry farms and aquaculture health farms, creating demonstration County of standardization, promoting overall 45, through standard, standard and standard model County to create point, transforming the pattern of agricultural production and management, ensure the safety outputs.

GM issues of common concern for the outside world, Chen Xiaohua said that the Ministry of agriculture to GM is positive and prudent approach. The so-called positive, is to enhance scientific research, to develop new varieties with independent intellectual property rights as soon as possible, occupying high ground in this area, preventing controlled by others. Called discreet, is on the popularization and application, must guarantee the safety of genetically modified products.

"For industrialization of GM research and development results, but also according to this way of thinking, that is to say, advancing a number of mature, to solve the problem. On the question of industrialization, we have not set a timetable. "He said.

农业部：转基因产业化无时间表 持积极慎重方针|农业部|农产品|转基因_新闻资讯

　　1月15日下午，农业部召开2014年首场新闻发布会，农业部副部长陈晓华介绍了农产品质量安全监管有关情况。

　　根据农业部数据，刚刚过去的2013年，我国蔬菜、畜禽产品和水产品的监测合格率分别为96.6%、99.7%和94.4%，比上年有所提高，农产品质量安全状况总体稳定。

　　陈晓华表示，在我国这样一个农产品生产大国和消费大国，又面临小而分散的生产经营，要避免出现系统性和区域性的农产品安全问题，监管任务艰巨。

　　2013年12月，国务院发布《国务院办公厅关于加强农产品质量安全监管工作的通知》，又称“八项措施”。《通知》指出，我国农业生产经营分散，监管力量薄弱，农产品质量安全仍然存在较大隐患。为此，国家将强化属地管理责任，将农产品质量安全纳入县、乡级人民政府绩效考核范围，明确考核评价、督查督办等措施。

　　2013年底召开的中央农村工作会议也强调，食品安全源头在农产品，基础在农业，必须正本清源，首先把农产品质量抓好。用最严谨的标准、最严格的监管、最严厉的处罚、最严肃的问责，确保广大人民群众“舌尖上的安全”。

　　陈晓华在发布中重申了“八项措施”，在突出源头管控上，这几年全国已创建了639个标准化生产示范县；突出重点环节，在区域上突出农产品主产区和主销区，重中之重管好主产区。

　　此前召开的中央农村工作会议上，中央高层也强调，食品安全的源头在农产品，基础在农业，所以既是“管”出来的，也是“产”出来的。

　　在“管”方面，陈晓华指出，下一步重点是针对农兽药残留超标的问题、非法添加有毒有害物质的问题和假劣农资等问题开展整治，农业部已经制定了今年的整治方案，重点是严查、严处，把查案件作为衡量工作的一个重要标准。

　　在“产”方面，陈晓华表示，要结合贯彻中央一号文件和中央农村工作会议的精神，大力发展家庭农场、农民合作社和农业产业化的生产基地，通过组织化来保证质量安全。

　　陈晓华透露，农业部今年计划新建园艺作物标准园、畜禽规模化标准养殖场和水产健康养殖场1800个，创建标准化整体推进示范县45个，通过标准园、标准场和标准示范县的创建以点带面，转变农业的生产经营方式，保证产出安全。

　　针对外界普遍关心的转基因问题，陈晓华表示农业部对于转基因采取的是积极、慎重的方针。所谓积极，就是要加强科学研究，尽快研发出具有自主知识产权的新品种，在这个领域占领制高点，防止受制于人。所谓慎重，就是在推广和应用上，必须保证转基因产品的安全性。

　　“对于转基因研发成果的产业化问题，同样要按照这样的思路，也就是说成熟一批、推进一批，来解决好这个问题。在产业化的问题上，我们还没有制定时间表。”他说。
