BVL is the regulatory authority for plant protection products and veterinary medicinal products. In its decision-making process, BVL generally draws on BfR risk assessments except for the authorisation of veterinary medicinal products where the expertise and responsibility are allocated at BVL. Based on risk assessments by other authorities, BVL decides on applications for the experimental scientific cultivation of genetically modified plants. Furthermore, BVL is involved in the EU marketing authorisation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food and feed, feed additives and feedstuffs for particular nutritional purposes (dietetic feed).
