. . .  The key role played by international organisations A number of international organisations are playing key roles in assisting the CEE countries to formulate national laws regulating genetic engineering activity and ensuring harmonisation with existing legislation both within the region and in the European Union and North America. One of the principal organisations involved in this area within Central and Eastern Europe is the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation’s Biosafety Information Network . . .

In order to achieve the objectives set out in the September 1994 meeting a Task Force of Regulatory Oversight for Central and Eastern Europe was established. However, thus far reports suggest that the Task Force has met with limited success in coordinating the development of regulatory frameworks within the CEE region.
