3.133. In Mexico, SPS measures are established by means of a Mexican Official Standards (NOM). The procedure for preparing NOMs on plant and animal health, fisheries, biosafety and agri-food safety matters is the same as that used for other NOMs. The objective of these is to prevent, control and combat pests and diseases that affect plant, animal, aquaculture and fishery species. Each unit prepares the preliminary drafts; and the respective subcommittees (which comprise the National Advisory Committee on Agri-food Standardization (CCNNA) of SADER or the National Advisory Committee on Environmental and Natural Resource Standardization (COMANART) of SERMANAT) carry out the relevant reviews and amendments, respond to comments and approve draft NOMs and, if it is deemed necessary, submit them for consideration to the CCNNA or COMANART.

3.140. The Interministerial Commission on Biosafety and Genetically Modified Organisms (CIBIOGEM) is responsible for establishing policies on biotechnology safety and the safe use of GMOs. These activities are regulated by the Law on Biosafety of GMOs and its implementing regulations. The importation of GMOs for experimental release into the environment, for pilot programmes or for commercial use, requires a permit issued by SADER and SEMARNAT, after a risk analysis has been conducted (Article 66 of the Law on Biosafety of GMOs). Subsequent imports do not require new permits, provided they concern the same GMO and the same area of release into the environment (Article 58 of the Law on Biosafety of GMOs).
