What happens when the planting of imported  genetically modified seeds causes damages to the local biodiversity, or if nearby organic producers cannot sell under the organic label anymore? Who would be liable if imported GM pollen were to cause an allergy? Who exactly would be responsible, and what are the procedures to be used in order to provide for redress? How could we imagine such procedures to unfold in a developing country where subsistence  farmers couldn't think of being able to pay for lawyers and scientific experts? These are some of the questions that are presently being negotiated under the Biosafety Protocol which specifies in Art. 27 that a solution to liability and redress should be found within four years after the first Meeting of the Parties which took place in February 2004.
