NEW DELHI: A permanent policy board in the Government can help regulate new biotechnologies that are coming in, according to the Union Biotechnology Secretary, M.K. Bhan. Speaking at a workshop on "Regulation of Biotech Crops: Going Beyond Single-Gene Products'' organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) here on Thursday, Dr. Bhan said India's biotechnology needed to to respond to broader issues, in addition to specific cases that came up for approval. He said that clearly articulated information from a neutral source would help the members of different committees that approve biotechnology products to take better decisions. This was needed since it was often difficult to separate information from advocacy. In the case of new biotech products, such as multi-gene seeds, Dr. Bhan said that regulators should be available for advance consultation to the industry to guide companies on how to conduct trials and how to submit data.
