Goals of the BATS-BAG database

• Internal knowledge base for the SFOPH

• Focus on petition infos of new GMOs (few sequences and no PCR-informations)

• Focus on future GMO-products on the Swiss market

• Contacts for GMOs (authorities & industry)

• Not primarily available for the public

• Technology: MS Access 2000
