The procedure for obtaining a permit consists of two stages. First, the CONABIA
evaluates the application and grants or denies a permit for experimentation. The second
stage, which allows for extensive use of experimentation, consists of determining
whether the use of the genetically modified organism will have an impact on the
environment similar to the one produced by a similar non-genetically modified
organism.66 Only eleven applications passed the second stage (Table 5).

After obtaining this permit, companies need to obtain another authorization to
commercialize the genetically modified variety. Ten of the varieties listed in Table 4
