Little has happened in Kazakhstan over the last year with regard to of genetically engineered (GE) products. The Kazakhstan’s draft law on “On State Regulation of Genetic Engineering Activities” still has not moved out of the Kazakh Parliament. However, substantial progress has been made in the negotiations for Kazakhstan’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). Some sources have maintained that progress on the GE legislation was unlikely until after Kazakhstan’s WTO accession.
