El Salvador has decided to abolish Article 30 of the Planting Seed Law, effective since 9/01.
This article required imported seeds to carry a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration from the country of origin stating that the seeds did not contain Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). El Salvador ratified the Cartagena Protocol in 12/03. The Environment Law, effective since 5/98, provides guidance on assessing the environmental impact of GMOs. However, now that there is no legal impediment to use GMOs, the Ministry of Environment is working on the regulatory framework for their safe use and commercialization.
