Information and Resources
The Global Low-Level Presence Initiative (GLI) has developed resources to offer a broad range of practical approaches and principles for members, observers, international organizations and individuals to consider to minimize asynchronous approvals and manage Low level presence (LLP).
The following tools have been developed and are available on this website:
- Global LLP Initiative (GLI) Memorandum on Improving Access to Data and Information for Food and Feed Safety Assessment in Situations of Low-Level Presence (LLP) of Recombinant-DNA (rDNA) Plant Material
(Overview of how sharing data and information about completed food and feed safety assessments of recombinant DNA (rDNA) plant material may facilitate management of instances of LLP) - Global LLP Initiative (GLI) Communiqué on Approaches to Reduce Asynchronous Authorizations in Food and Feed Derived From Recombinant DNA (rDNA) Plants
(Overview of potential approaches for governments, technology developers and other stakeholders to consider to minimize occurrences of asynchronous authorizations of food and feed derived from recombinant DNA (rDNA) plants) - Key Considerations To Facilitate Food Safety Assessments In Situations Of Low Level Presence
(Overview of principles and best practices to efficiently assess the safety of rDNA plants in situation of LLP) - Principles, Criteria and Practical Approaches for Addressing Low-Level Presence (LLP) in International Food and Feed Trade of Plant Material
(Overview of guiding principles for governments and technology developers to support practical approaches to minimize asynchronous approvals and practically prevent and manage LLP) - Factsheet on Low Level Presence
(Overview of factors leading to LLP, their impacts, and best management practices) - Examples of Approaches on Cooperation, Collaboration, and the Streamlining of Product Approvals for Plant Agricultural Biotechnology Produced Using Recombinant DNA Techniques
