"Contained use" means using LMOs during manufacturing processes within a facility, equipment or other physical structures to prevent the spread of LMOs to the external environment. LMOs and their substances not only have played an essential role in various industries in different ways, but also have made to spread concerns in Biosafety widely. In Korea, the LMO Act is to implement the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety' since 1st Jan 2008. This is focused on Biosafety and Risk management for LMOs according to the precautionary principle.

본 논문은 2002년 3월 21일 EU의 제안서 제출로 시작된 DDA 각료선언문 para. 31(i)하에서 이루어지고 있는 무역-환경 논의쟁점에 기초하여 바이오안전성 맥락에서 특정무역의무 범위문제, 분쟁해결절차의 적용과 비당사국문제를 분석하였다. DDA 무역-환경 논의분석 결과에 기초하여 제시된 LMOs의 바이오안전성 확보를 위한 국가차원의 대응방향은 다음과 같다. 첫째, LMOs 수입국인 우리나라의 경우 넓은 범위의 바이오안전성의정서상 STOs의 WTO 수용은 LMOs 및 바이오산업에 손실에 초래시키지 않을 것이다. 오히려 수입 LMOs에 대한 안전성 확보를 위한 높은 수준의 보호를 보장할 것이다. 하지만, 수출국들은 LMOs의 수출에 대한 부정적인 영향을 보전하기 위해 다른 형태의 무역조치를 취할 수 있어, 그로 인한 영향을 감수해야 할 것이다. 수출국이 되는 경우 넓은 범위의 바이오안전성의정서상 STOs의 WTO 수용은 수출되는 LMOs 제품에 좋은 영향을 미치지는 못할 것이다. 따라서 생명공학기술의 진보속도 및 수준, LMOs 연구개발 및 생산추이 등과 STOs로 인한 여타 산업의 상황을 고려한 비용-편익분석을 통해 특정무역조치에 따른 시나리오를 구성하고, 시나리오별 중 단기 및 장기적 차원에서의 대응책을 마련해야 할 것이다. 둘째, 사회적 합리성에 근거하고 있는 바이오안전성의정서와 과학적 합리성에 근거하고 있는 WTO 규정은 상당 부분 상충되고 있어 분쟁해결시 어떠한 원칙을 적용할 것인가의 문제에 대한 합의는 쉽지 않을 것이다. 그렇기 때문에, 장기적인 논의가 요구되는 사안이다. 이러한 자원에서 LMOs 수입국인 우리나라는 현대생명공학기술에 의한 산물인 LMOs와 같은 신제품에 대해서는 과학적, 환경적, 사회 경제적 관점에서 다각적인 검토를 통한 국가간 이동에 대한 적절한 보호수준을 보장하기 위해 국제적 노력이 필요하다는 입장을 지속적으로 견지해야 할 것이다. 셋째, 바이오안전성의정서 당사국과 비당사국 간의 분쟁시 바이오안전성의정서 비당사국(만약, WTO 회원국일 경우)의 WTO 의무는 유효하다. 그렇기 때문에, 비당사국 바이오안전성의정서 당사국과의 LMOs 분쟁시 WTO 규정에 의한 문제해결을 시도할 것이다. 그렇지만, LMOs의 건전하고 안전한 이용을 위해서는 국가간 이동에 따른 적절한 보호수준을 보장해야만 한다. 이러한 맥락에서 우리나라는 MEAs를 충분히 고려해야 한다는 EU의 견해를 견지하되, 바이오안전성의정서 당사국과 비당사국(만약, WTO 회원국일 경우)간 분쟁가능성을 미연에 방지하기 위한 차원에서 바이오안전성 확보를 위한 무역규제조치 전 바이오안전성의정서에서 규정하고 있는 정책수단들을 적극 활용할 수 있는 방안을 다각도로 마련해야 할 것이다.

The transgenic technologies and their product (living modified organisms) have been developed and commercialized enough to get much attention in terms of their potentials to solve the current global difficulties such as shortage of food and energy. Furthermore, they are expected to make a big role in improving human health levels and creating bio-economy as innovative tools to pursue environmentally sound economic development. However, for the technologies and products to be developed and used in such a way that they continuously give a good impact to human society, first and foremost safety issues surrounding them should be dealt with. Every stage from in-house R&D, pilot field application to on the shelves should be managed to ensure safety following them because many consumers tend to have fear before they get the right or needed information on the modern biotechnology. In this sense, managing research facilities and LMOs for R&D from the point of safety is very crucial in that they are in the early stage of technology or product development. This paper especially deals with those to be complied with by researchers according to the Act on transboundary movement of LMOs, etc, entered into the effect from Jan. 1 2008.

Several transgenic marine medaka Oryzias dancena strains harboring a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter construct regulated by an endogenous ${\beta}$-actin promoter were established and their expression characteristics in relation to transgene copy numbers were examined in 21 transgene genotypes. Most of the transgenic strains displayed transgene insertion patterns typical of microinjection-mediated introduction of foreign DNA into fish embryos, characterized by the random integration of multiple transgene copies (ranging from 1 - 282 copies per cell), often accompanied by the formation of concatemer(s), as assessed by genomic Southern blot hybridization analysis and qPCR. Transgenic strains showed ubiquitous and continued temporal and spatial expression patterns of the transgenic GFP during most of their life cycle, from the embryonic stage to adulthood, enabling assessment of the expression pattern of the endogenous ${\beta}$-actin gene. However, a comparative evaluation of transgene copy numbers and expression levels showed that copy number-dependent expression, the stability of the ubiquitous distribution and expression efficiency per transgene copy varied among the transgenic strains. Fluorescence expression levels were positively correlated with absolute transgene copy numbers, whereas the expression efficiency per transgene copy was inversely related to the number of transgene integrant copies. Data from this study will guide the selection of potentially desirable transgenic strains with ubiquitous expression of a fluorescent transgene, not only in this marine medaka species but also in other related model fish species.

Biotechnology is certainly one of the major landmarks in the 20th century history of science. It may produce enormous utility to human beings, but at the same time, it carries huge potential risks to the environment and public health. Thus, with a view to securing safety for the environment and public health in relation to the development and use of living modified organisms (LMOs), the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety was adopted, in which a regulation Procedure as to the transboundary movements, transportation, handling, and use of LMOs were drawn up. In order to prepare for the entry into force of the Protocol, the Republic of Korea legislated the "Act on the Transboundary Movements of living modified organisms(hereinafter referred as the 'Act')" in Mar 2001, and has pre-announced the enactments of the enforcement ordinance and the enforcement regulation to the Act. Pursuant to the Act, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, as a Competent National Authority, is making efforts to implement domestic biosafety schemes in cooperation with other bio-related government ministries. In order for these efforts to reap fruits, industry, academia, and research institutions should cooperate with one another, and civic groups and NGOs should narrow the differences in opinions and timely respond to the fast-changing situations. Focusing on the precautionary principle, the Protocol puts a great emphasis on the importance of information sharing amongst countries, and the Act also follows this principle. In order to gurantee biosafety, countries around the world, including the ROK, agreed to establish National Biosafety Clearing, designed to provide the information on the export/import of LMOs, R'||'&'||'Ds, risk assessment, safety control, etc. and register it on the CBD Central Biosafety Clearing House.e.

This study reviews the proposed liability and redress regime under the Cartagena Protocol on Biodiversity. Several core elements for the regime are discussed in comparison with those listed in the 1999 Basel Protocol on Liability and Compensation for Damage resulting from the Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal. These are (1) scope of the rules and procedures; (2) channeling of liability; (3) legal standing; (4) definition of damage; (5) standard of care; (6) ancillary sources of compensation; (7) limitation of liability; (8) financial guarantees; and (9) mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments. Korea has given relatively little attention to the issue of liability and redress in the context of LMOs trade. As the Protocol is expected to enter into force soon, Korea needs to develop appropriate implementing domestic mechanisms for the Biosafety Protocol. Establishing an adequate domestic liability and compensation scheme will be one of the most important mechanisms not only to comply the Protocol but to ensure safety of LMOs in general. A further research is needed on the basis of a comparision of relevant legislations in different countries as well as analysis of current laws related to the accidents arising from LMOs trade, such as product liability laws, food safety laws, liability provisions in some environmental legislations.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain CP4 유래 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) 유전자를 포함하는 유전자변형생물체(Living modified organism, LMO)가 개발되었다. 이 같은 LMO는 국내 승인되어 사료용, 식품용, 가공용으로 이용 중이다. 간이면역 검사키트 개발을 위해서는 고효율의 단클론 항체 개발이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 대장균 BL21 (DE3)에서 재조합 CP4 EPSPS 단백질을 정제하였으며 SDS-PAGE와 MALDI-TOF MS 분석으로 단백질 특성을 분석하였다. 단클론 항체 제작은 (주)앱클론의 SOP 매뉴얼에 따라 진행하였다. 본 연구 결과 5개의 단클론 항체 클론(2F2, 4B9, 6C11, 10A9, 10G9)를 확보하였다. 5종의 단클론 항체의 효율과 특이도 검정을 위해서 LM 면화 추출액을 이용한 western blotting 분석을 실시하였다. 모든 단클론 항체는 CP4 EPSPS를 함유하는 MON1445와 MON88913을 특이적으로 검출하였으며 비변형 면화 및 타종의 LM 면화에서는 검출되지 않았다. 이러한 결과들을 바탕으로 CP4 EPSPS 단클론 항체는 LMO에 함유된 CP4 EPSPS 단백질을 타겟으로 항체 기반 검출법 개발에 활용될 것으로 사료된다.
