Development of adequate and effective environmental legislation and legal frameworks to address environmental issues.
Request description
Dans le cadre de l’opérationnalisation du Protocole de Cartagena, le Maroc a élaboré un plan d'actions pour le respect des obligations du protocole de Carthagène. Cependant , sa mise en œuvre et son avancement nécessitent une assistance technique pour l'élaboration d'une loi nationale intégrée sur la biosécurité. Laquelle loi serait basée sur les principes de précaution et de prévention, qui impliquent que l’absence de certitude scientifique absolue ne doit pas servir de prétexte à la remise à plus tard de la prise de mesures destinées à prévenir des dommages risquant d’être graves ou irréversibles pour l’environnement et la santé.
Cette loi constituerait pour le Maroc un moyen juridiquement contraignant pour limiter l'introduction d'espèces génétiquement modifiées susceptibles de poser des problèmes écologiques, invasives, amenant une pollution génétique, et des risques éco-toxicologiques ou de santé humaine et animale.
