Commentaries: Art. 29d

Organisms may not be put into circulation for uses in which the principles contained in Article 29a are infringed despite their being handled in accordance with the relevant provisions.
The manufacturer or importer carries out its own self-regulation for this purpose. The Federal Council enacts regulations on the nature, extent and supervision of the self-regulation.
Pathogenic organisms may be put into circulation for uses in the environment only with the authorisation of the Confederation.
The Federal Council determines the requirements and the procedure and regulates the information provided to the general public. For certain pathogenic organisms, it may provide for a simplification of the authorisation requirement or for exemptions if, in the light of current scientific knowledge or experience, an infringement of principles contained in Article 29a is excluded.
