On June 6, 2019, MERCOSUR approved a new Low-Level Presence (LLP) policy entitled “Mechanism To Decrease the Occurrence of Low Level Presence LLP of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in Member States”. 

The policy includes regional risk assessment sharing and regional recommendation of LLP threshold levels, with a goal of reducing the risk of trade disruptions in the region. A copy of the policy can be found here.
