Legislation Top
Below is a select list of laws in Israel. As biosecurity is a relatively new and rapidly developing field, many countries have yet to devise or implement laws specific to biosecurity. Since biosecurity has much in common with national security, biosafety, bioterrorism, biological weapons, import / export of dual-use materials, and biodiversity, some countries may develop biosecurity legislation by adapting existing laws within these other areas. Therefore, biosecurity legislation and other laws that could potentially be used as background for biosecurity legislation are included here.
- Export and Import Control Order
- Date: 30 March, 2004
- Comment: This order was designed to consolidate and further regulate control over chemical, biological and nuclear exports. It prohibits the export of materials and items designated for WMD programs and establishes a licensing requirement for sensitive items based on lists of the Australia Group.
