Regulatory requirements for the environmental risk assessment for the import of genetically modified (GM) crops for food and feed use vary by country, and are in some cases not defined.   GM crop import results in negligible environmental exposure.  Scenarios by which the GM crop may pose hazard will be evaluated to determine if data generation is needed to make conclusions of environmental risk.  Areas covered in this presentation will include effects to nontarget organisms, effects on soil microbiota, and effects of hybridization with natural flora.
