Summary/Abstract: In recent years the phenomenon of domestic market introduction of GM products has grown, organic products are growing fewer and more and more products that attract buyers through their aesthetical result of genetic changes that have been subjected. In this context, it is necessary for activities with genetically modified organisms to be conducted in accordance with the precautionary principle to protect human health and the environment. European consumer groups and environmental groups, who have already raised concerns about trade liberalization, have played a central role in raising awareness about genetically modified crops and food.Central pawn of the Romanian legislation in the field is the Emergency Ordinance no. 43/2007 of 23/05/2007 on the deliberate release into the environment and the marketing of genetically modified organisms, the bill was necessary to be implemented following the entry into force of Directive 2001/18/EC on the deliberate release into the environment genetically modified organisms.Regardless of the position which we stand, that the producer or consumer, we consider useful to know the steps to be followed when the market wants to introduce a product that contains genetic changes. This is because the consequences they can produce genetically modified organisms, when not required by law to obtain authorizations for placing on the market, are devastating.
