11—Insertion of section 40A

After section 40 insert:

40A—Licences relating to inadvertent dealings

        (1)         If the Regulator is satisfied that a person has come into possession of a GMO inadvertently, the Regulator may, with the agreement of the person, treat the person as having made an inadvertent dealings application.

        (2)         To avoid doubt, subsection (1) does not prevent a person from making an application under section 40 in respect of a GMO that has inadvertently come into the person's possession.

Note—

Sections 46A and 49 have the effect that the Regulator may expedite consideration of an application to dispose of a GMO that has come into a person's possession inadvertently. These sections have effect whether the application is made under section 40, or is taken to have been made under this section.
