The development of basic laws in the field of biosecurity Risk prevention and control can be followed by law

the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the CPC Central Committee, with Comrade
as its core, has attached great importance to biosecurity, incorporated biosecurity into the national security system, and proposed to speed up the construction of a national biosecurity laws and regulations system and system security system.
October 17, the Biosecurity Law of the People's Republic of China was approved by the 22nd Session of the 13th National
Congress and will come into effect on April 15, 2021.recent years, africa
and other major new outbreaks of infectious diseases and animal and plant outbreaks and other traditional biological threats, biotechnology misuse fallacy and other non-traditional biological threats highlighted ... Biotechnology brings advances and benefits to mankind, as well as biosecurity issues and threats.
" According to the deployment of the CPC Central Committee, to adapt to the new situation, new problems and new tasks facing China's biosecurity, it is necessary, important and urgent to formulate a basic, systematic, comprehensive and unified biosecurity law. Gao Hucheng,
director of the National
Environment and Resources protection
, said.
National
representatives for many years put forward biosecurity legislation bills, the 13th National
and the Second Session, a total of 214 national
representatives put forward seven bills on biosecurity legislation, calling for the acceleration of the biosecurity legislative process, fully express the call to safeguard national biosecurity in accordance with the law, safeguard the interests of the people.
" biosecurity involves a wide range of areas, rapid development and change, the existing relevant laws and regulations often only for a single specific biosecurity risk norms, more fragmented and fragmented, some of the lower level of effectiveness, some have not been fully adapted to the needs of practice, some areas still lack legal norms, the need to develop a biosecurity field of basic laws. Yuan Jie, director of the Administrative Law Office of the National
Conference Law and Industry Commission, said that the biosecurity law system combs and comprehensively standardizes all kinds of biosecurity risks, clarifies the institutional mechanism and basic system for the prevention and control of biosecurity risks, fills the gaps in the basic laws in the field of biosecurity, and is conducive to perfecting the biosecurity legal system.
On October 21, 2019, the 14th meeting of the 13th National
Conference heard a note on the bill submitted for consideration of the Biosecurity Law (Draft) of the People's Republic of China, which stated that biosecurity legislation is necessary to enhance national biosecurity capacity-building. At present, China is relatively backward in biotechnology research and development and infrastructure construction, there is a large gap in technology, products and standards, biosecurity original technology is less, excellent results are few. Incorporating national biosecurity capacity-building into law, fixing industrial and scientific and technological policies that encourage independent innovation in legal form, firmly grasping the core key biotechnology, safeguarding and promoting the development of biotechnology in China in accordance with the law, and enhancing the ability to prevent risks and threats.the
Biosecurity Law will protect people's life and health as the legislative purpose, clearly safeguard biosecurity should adhere to the principle of people-oriented, in preventing and responding to all kinds of biosecurity risks, always adhere to the people's supremacy, life first, to maintain people's life safety and health as the starting point and landing point. Yuan Jie said.Open the Biosecurity Law, Article 1 of the Open-stated meaning indicates the purpose of the legislation: "In order to safeguard national security, prevent and respond to biosecurity risks, protect people's lives and health, protect biological resources and ecological environment, promote the healthy development of biotechnology, promote the construction of a community of human destiny, achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature, this Law is enacted."
Prevention and control of major new outbreaks of infectious diseases, animal and plant outbreaks, biotechnology research, development and application, biosecurity management of pathogenic microbiological laboratories, management of human genetic and biological resources, prevention of invasive alien species and protection of biodiversity, response to microbial resistance, prevention of biological
attacks and protection against biological weapons threats, other biosecurity-related activities and other activities and related management activities are included in the scope of biosecurity law norms and adjustments.
"
departments, in accordance with the division of responsibilities, strengthen the training of bio-basic scientific research personnel and professional and technical personnel in the biological field, and promote the construction of bio-basic science disciplines and scientific research. "The state has strengthened its stockpile of materials for the prevention and control of biological security risks such as major new outbreaks of infectious diseases and animal and plant outbreaks." ...... The Biosecurity Act has a special chapter on biosethic capacity-building.
Gao Hucheng introduced that biosecurity capacity-building is mainly reflected in increasing investment, infrastructure construction, personnel training, encouraging and supporting independent research and development innovation, scientific and technological industry development and other ways to give financial and policy support to biosecurity work, promote and strengthen biosecurity capacity-building. At the same time, it is also called for institutional and institutional upgrading of China's biosecurity capacity-building.
" biosecurity law perfects the basic system of biosecurity risk prevention and control. Provisions for the establishment of biosecurity risk monitoring and early warning system, risk investigation and assessment system, information sharing system, information release system, directory and inventory system, standard system, biosecurity review system, emergency system, investigation traceability system, national access system and overseas major biosecurity incident response system a total of 11 basic systems, the whole chain to build biosecurity risk prevention and control of the 'four pillars and eight pillars'. Yuan Jie said.
"If a staff member who, in violation of the provisions of this Law, performs his or her duties in biosecurity management abuses his or her power, neglects his duties, commits fraud for personal gain or commits other illegal acts, he shall be given the right to do so in accordance
";
If, in violation of the provisions of this Law, engaged in biotechnology research, development and application activities prohibited by the State, the competent departments of health, health, science and technology, agriculture and rural areas of the people's governments at or above the county level shall, in accordance with the division of duties, order the cessation of illegal acts, confiscate the illegal proceeds, technical information and tools, equipment, raw materials and other articles used in the illegal acts, and shall be fined between 1 million yuan and
10 million yuan." The Biosecurity Law provides for penalties for acts of inaction or non-compliance by state public officials in the legal liability section, and at the same time, the corresponding liability and punishment are perfected for acts and events such as the fallacy of biotechnology that occurred in the previous period.June 2, the Ministry of Ecological Environment issued the 2019 State of China's Ecological Environment Bulletin. More than 660 invasive alien species have been found across the country, according to the communique. Of these, 71 species have caused or are potentially threatening to natural ecosystems and are included in China's Invasive Alien Species List. The results of the survey of invasive alien species in 67 national nature reserves show that 215 invasive alien species have invaded national nature reserves.
In order to prevent and respond to invasive alien species and protect biodiversity, the Biosecurity Law stipulates that
the relevant departments shall, in accordance with the division of responsibilities, strengthen the investigation, monitoring, early warning, control, assessment, removal and ecological restoration of invasive alien species. No unit or individual may introduce, release or discard alien species without approval. In case of unauthorized introduction of alien species in violation of the provisions of this Law, the relevant departments of the people's governments at or above the county level shall, in accordance with the division of duties, confiscate the imported alien species and shall be fined between 50,000 yuan and 250,000 yuan.
years, there has been a great controversy about the ethical issues raised by biotechnology. In this regard, biosecurity law clearly, engaged in biotechnology research, development and application activities, should be in line with ethical principles. Clinical research on new biomedical technologies shall be conducted through ethical examination and in medical institutions with corresponding conditions; Relevant scientific research institutions, medical institutions and other enterprises and institutions shall incorporate biosecurity laws and regulations and biosecurity knowledge into their education and training contents, and strengthen the cultivation of biosecurity awareness and ethical awareness among students and practitioners.
biosethics is generally an emerging area, covering a wide range of areas, rapid development, some areas have been adjusted by laws and regulations, and some activities lack legal norms. Yuan Jie said that the existing provisions, integration and refining perfect, rise to the basic system, and do a good job of convergence, the formation of a joint force. For 20 years, there is no provision, can be seen accurately, make targeted provisions to fill the gaps in the law, and for 3 still need to continue to explore, make principled provisions, leave room for practice, but also for the formulation of amendments to relevant laws and regulations reserved interface.
