Guatemala: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
On May 29, 2018, Guatemala sent its draft biotechnology regulation to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The same draft regulation was notified by Honduras on June 5, 2018. Both countries have agreed to harmonize their Genetically Engineered (GE) regulation under the Guatemalan-Honduras Customs Union framework. Both countries have received national and international comments and will be jointly preparing responses. The final regulation will be approved through the Ministry of Economy in Guatemala and the Secretariat of Economic Development in Honduras, as the Customs Union dictates.
