      assessment, and other factors which in the opinion of the Food Authority are relevant to the
      matter under consideration and where the conditions are relevant, in order to achieve the
      general objectives of regulations ;
(c) where in any specific circumstances, on the basis of assessment of available information,
      the possibility of harmful effects on health is identified but scientific uncertainty persists,
      provisional risk management measures necessary to ensure appropriate level of health
      protection may be adopted, pending further scientific information for a more
      comprehensive risk assessment ;
GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF
     FOOD SAFETY
Section 18(f): In cases where there are reasonable grounds
to suspect that a food may present a risk for human
health, then, depending on the nature, seriousness and

risk to health, identifying to the fullest extent possible the
food or type of food, the risk that it may present, and the
measures which are taken or about to be taken to prevent,
reduce or eliminate that risk; and

 among living organisms from all sources and the ecological
 complexes of which they are part and includes diversity
 within species or between species and of eco-systems;
 Section 7: No person, who is a citizen of India or a body

Indian’
An assessment of how we all Indian’s
  (and all our future generations)
      are being put up for SALE
      By the very Government
        you & me have elected
Will BRAI be actually a
       Regulatory Authority?
   The layout and provisions of the structure clearly shows
   that BRAI is not going to be a regulatory authority but an
   APPROVAL agency.
   It will help Multinational companies who want to control
   the food-chain and patent all life forms, so as to help them
   consolidate their position and have dominance.
   It intends to make it difficult for common man to have
   any say or opinion on the issue of what he eats and how
   he interacts with nature.
   It’s a total plan to sell out our sovereignty and rights of
   our farmers and people
……….. We have seen enough regulatory authorities in India, and we
  understand how they function and what they do …. But in this case, it
  will directly affect our and our future generations life and existence.
The foundation on which BRAI
         will stand
GEAC in itself was illegal. All approvals it had given since its existence
are illegal and without authority.
GEAC was brought into existence under the Environment
Protection Act (EPA)
EPA does not in any way provide for formation of such a body,
approving food and Genetically modified organisms. In-fact the
Ministry of Environment has no scientist having the requisite
qualification to even understand what was happening.
All GEAC members met over a cup of tea/coffee every month for a
couple of hours. There was hardly any discussion analyzing the study.
There were no field investigation/ inspection or visits. They relied on
all the data which was supplied by the corporate “MONSANTO” and
the company they held, “MAHYCO”
Agriculture as
 in Article 246
 of Constitution

LIST II of 7th Schedule
  [Exclusive State List]
  Item 14:
  Agriculture, including
  agricultural education
  and research,
  protection against
  pests and prevention
  of plant diseases
But What BRAI intends
Section 2:- It is hereby declared that it is expedient in the public interest
   that the Union should take under its control the regulation of
   organisms, products and processes of modern biotechnology industry.
Section 81: Save as otherwise provided, the provisions of this Act shall
   have effect, notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith
   contained in any other law for the time being in force or in any
   instrument having effect by virtue of any law other than this Act.
Section 60: Power to approach the High Court has been taken away

   The ACT will override all laws made by the STATE
   Government and will gain exclusive control over
   item specified in list II of VIIth Schedule without
   actually going in for an amendment
Some Provisions of BRAI
Section 63: Whoever,
without any evidence or
scientific record misleads
the public about the safety of
the organisms and products
specified in Part I or Part II or
Part III of the Schedule I, shall
be punished with
imprisonment for a term
which shall not be less than
six months but which may
extend to one year and with
fine which may extend to
two lakh rupees or with both.
No RTI: Everything is a Trade
             Secret
                [Food was never a trade secret]
Section 3(h): "confidential commercial information" means, - (i) a trade secret or any
   other information which has a commercial or other value which would be, or could
   reasonably be expected to be, destroyed or diminished if such information was
   disclosed; or (ii) such other information which relates to lawful commercial or
   financial affairs of a person, organisation or undertaking dealing with organisms or
   products specified under Part I or Part II or Part III of Schedule I which, if disclosed,
   could adversely affect such person, organisation or undertaking;
Section 27: (1) In case an application to be submitted under sub-section (1) of section 24
   or sub-section (1) of section 26 require the disclosure of confidential commercial
   information, such information shall, notwithstanding anything contained in the Right
   to Information Act, 2005, be retained as confidential by the Authority and not be
   disclosed to any other party. (2) If the Authority is satisfied that the public interest
   outweighs the disclosure of confidential commercial information or such disclosure
   shall not cause harm to any person, it may refuse to retain that the information
   as confidential commercial information.
Section 81: Save as otherwise provided, the provisions of this Act shall have effect,
   notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in any other law for the
   time being in force or in any instrument having effect by virtue of any law other
   than this Act.
Drug/Food Safety Act
PROPOSED AMENDMENT: Schedule II
DRUG ACT - 2. After section 37, the following section shall be inserted,
   namely:- "37A. Nothing contained in this section shall apply to the
   genetically modified or engineered organisms or any matter or thing
   connected with it to which are covered under the Biotechnology
   Regulatory Authority of India Act, 2009.“
FOOD SAFETY ACT - 1. In section 13, in sub-section (3), in clause (c), the
   words "organisms and" shall be omitted.
[Section 13 provides for appointment of Scientific Panel on “Genetically
   Modified Organisms.”]
   The Power of the MoH to have scientific panel on GMO has been
   taken away

   In the category of UNSAFE foods Section 3(zz) of the Food Safety
   Act not amended to include Unsafe GM Foods? Why?
What about
 Clinical
  Trials
Section 3(g): "clinical trial"
   means systematic study
   of any new organism or
   product specified in
   Schedule I in human for
   the purpose of generating
   data for discovering or
   verifying its clinical,
   pharmacological (including
   pharmacodynamic and
   pharmacokinetic)
   biological, or, adverse
   effects with the objective
   of determining safety,
   efficacy or tolerance of
   that organism or product;
Penal Clauses
Section 61 and 62 too weak and vague – Nobody can ever be
penalized for these violations – too many deliberate loopholes
No provision for penalty for concealment of information and for
concealment or misrepresentation about safety of GE products
No class action provisions
Civil procedure suggested though it would be a criminal wrong
Bar on action unless a person goes through the cumbersome BRAI
procedure
Offences not cognizable

In a Nut Shell – No body would ever be
punished for pushing the human race to
death, disease and devastation
Composition of the Committee

Three member weak body with short term of 3 years and
reappointment provision
No representation of State Governments
No bar on subsequent employment like the Human Rights
commission. Too weak (and full of loop holes) provisions for
employment in private sector by the members of the
commission and the advisory body.
Toothless Advisory body and scientific panels
Advisory body and scientific bodies can have endless
members from PRIVATE sector. In-fact all members can be
from Private Companies
See Schedule I – Part I
                                SCHEDULE I
                              (See section 18)
                                   PARTI
1. Organisms and products mentioned under sub-paragraph (a) to (c) of
    this Part which shall be regulated by the Authority.
(a) Any genetically engineered plant, animal, micro-organism, virus or
    other animate organism that may have application in agriculture,
    fisheries (including aquaculture), forestry or food production;
(b) Any genetically engineered plant, animal, micro-organism, virus or
    other animate organism used as food;
(c) Any animal clones that may have application in agriculture, fisheries
    or food production.
And Penal Provision for
              Violating
Section 62(5): Whoever, himself or by any other person on his behalf,
   conducts field trials with organisms or products specified in Part I or
   Part III of Schedule I, in contravention of section 33 shall be punished
   with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than six months
   but which may extend to one year and with fine which may extend
   to two lakh rupees or with both.

   Interesting to Note: Word Clinical trial is missing
   from the penal provision. No other penal provision
   for violation of any condition related to Part I of
   Schedule I. Field trials are also weakly defined in
   Section 3(n). No body can ever be punished for it.
   Section 3(n): "Field trials" means a field experiment of growing a genetically engineered
   organism in the environment under specified terms and conditions which are intended to
   mitigate the establishment and spread of the organism;
What’
    What’s the Conclusion

India, Indian’s and all our children
                 are up

                          FOR SALE
                By Corrupt Politicians and
                       Bureaucrats

[The Game is to control the world by controlling the entire food chain and getting the
chemicals and proteins into our body which will help them consolidate their position further.
Imagine, someone will get royalty and commission every time you feel hungry and every bite
of food you take. The diseases caused by the GE products would be treated only by the GE
medicines they will have. We are standing on door way of permanent slavery and disaster.]
Thank You

  • 17. Will BRAI be actually a Regulatory Authority? The layout and provisions of the structure clearly shows that BRAI is not going to be a regulatory authority but an APPROVAL agency. It will help Multinational companies who want to control the food-chain and patent all life forms, so as to help them consolidate their position and have dominance. It intends to make it difficult for common man to have any say or opinion on the issue of what he eats and how he interacts with nature. It’s a total plan to sell out our sovereignty and rights of our farmers and people ……….. We have seen enough regulatory authorities in India, and we understand how they function and what they do …. But in this case, it will directly affect our and our future generations life and existence.
  • 18. The foundation on which BRAI will stand GEAC in itself was illegal. All approvals it had given since its existence are illegal and without authority. GEAC was brought into existence under the Environment Protection Act (EPA) EPA does not in any way provide for formation of such a body, approving food and Genetically modified organisms. In-fact the Ministry of Environment has no scientist having the requisite qualification to even understand what was happening. All GEAC members met over a cup of tea/coffee every month for a couple of hours. There was hardly any discussion analyzing the study. There were no field investigation/ inspection or visits. They relied on all the data which was supplied by the corporate “MONSANTO” and the company they held, “MAHYCO”

  • 25. Penal Clauses Section 61 and 62 too weak and vague – Nobody can ever be penalized for these violations – too many deliberate loopholes No provision for penalty for concealment of information and for concealment or misrepresentation about safety of GE products No class action provisions Civil procedure suggested though it would be a criminal wrong Bar on action unless a person goes through the cumbersome BRAI procedure Offences not cognizable In a Nut Shell – No body would ever be punished for pushing the human race to death, disease and devastation
  • 26. Composition of the Committee Three member weak body with short term of 3 years and reappointment provision No representation of State Governments No bar on subsequent employment like the Human Rights commission.

Field trials are also weakly defined in Section 3(n). No body can ever be punished for it. Section 3(n): "Field trials" means a field experiment of growing a genetically engineered organism in the environment under specified terms and conditions which are intended to mitigate the establishment and spread of the organism;
  • 29. What’ What’s the Conclusion India, Indian’s and all our children are up FOR SALE By Corrupt Politicians and Bureaucrats [The Game is to control the world by controlling the entire food chain and getting the chemicals and proteins into our body which will help them consolidate their position further. Imagine, someone will get royalty and commission every time you feel hungry and every bite of food you take. The diseases caused by the GE products would be treated only by the GE medicines they will have. We are standing on door way of permanent slavery and disaster.]
