Objective I shall acquire and transfer the scientific knowledge and skills for development of methods, criteria and systems for:- identification of GM-genes, their presence, quantitative content and qualitative characteristics in vegetable products from GMP-varieties, designed for consumption by human (for the market).- designation and tagging of designed for the market vegetable food products with GM genes according to European requirements and standards.- system and forms for information of the population utilizing GMP-products.- evaluation of the risk for humans and environment by the spreading and cultivation of GMP-varieties and the use of vegetable products with GM genes content.- detection of the presence and the extent of change in the technological and food characteristics of products of GMP-varieties (compared with their initial forms). I shall learn and acquire the screening-PCR method for:- identification of GM genes in plants of GMP-varieties and in their food products.- evaluation of the quantitative content of GM genes along with the development of scale with the limit of the admissible amount of GM genes in plants and products of GMP-varieties.- establishment of the qualitative characteristic of GM genes in vegetable food products.- development of criteria for designation and tagging of the offered to the market vegetable food products containing GM-genes, synchronized with the requirements of the European legislation and standards.- screening-PCR-method for study and control of plants of GMP-varieties and their products for presence, quantitative content and qualitative characteristic of GMgenes.- criteria and scale for quantitative limits for GM genes availability in food production of GMP-varieties, which is harmless for human.- criteria and manner of designation and tagging for designed for the market vegetable food products with GM genes content.-system and forms for information of the population using GMP-products.-safety criteria by the spreading of GMP-varieties and the using of their food production (with registered GM genes content) for human and environment.- synchronizing of methods and criteria for evaluation of the GMP-varieties and their products with the requirements of the European legislation and standards, for maximal validity of the conditions in Greece and Bulgaria, and for a part of the member-countries and/or the countries associated to the European Union.
