HANOI 00000064  001.2 OF 004 
 
 
1.  Summary.  This cable provides translation of Vietnam Food 
Administration's latest draft biotechnology regulations, which are 
expected to be formally notified to the WTO soon.  On their face, 
the regulations could hamper or restrict U.S. exports of biotech 
products.  Post would welcome comments from Washington to share with 
Vietnamese officials.  End Summary. 
 
2.  Vietnam Food Administration, (VFA) the regulatory agency under 
the Ministry of Health that oversees food safety, recently shared 
with FAS/Vietnam the tenth draft of its regulations governing the 
import and trade of biotech foods. FAS/Vietnam has had the draft 
regulations translated into English (see full text in para 5). 
Although VFA has not specifically solicited comments, Post 
encourages comments from FAS and other relevant USG agencies because 
we believe they would be of interest to VFA.  Post understands that 
Vietnam will formally notify these draft regulations to the WTO 
within a week. 
 
3.  It appears to Post that these draft regulations were written 
from a standpoint of an underlying distrust of biotech foods; hence 
the provisions for seemingly excessive surveillance and safeguards. 
Importers and traders are being subjected to undue and unreasonable 
requests for possible proprietary information as well as special 
licenses in order to conduct trade. 
 
4.  These draft regulations appear to apply to bulk commodities as 
well as processed foods, two areas where U.S. export trade has 
experienced considerable growth over the last year.  Approval and 
implementation of these regulations could have a deleterious effect 
on our trade.  Particularly troubling are the demands for 
confirmation outlined in Chapter III as well as the trade and 
labeling requirements of Chapter IV.  It would appear from item 2 of 
Article 9 that a special license is required to engage in trade of 
GM foods.
