Abstract: In order to view the current status and inspiration on the safety detection technology of genetically modified organisms in European Union, this study was fulfilled on the basis of visiting eight detection agencies for genetically modified organisms(GMO)in the European Union(EU). Several key technical points in GMO detection process and the implementation in EU were elaborately expounded. The specific contents included sampling and preparation methods of samples, loop verification of transgenic detection method and parameter requirements, strategies of sample testing and requirements of laboratory environments, representations of test results and evaluation of uncertainty. Finally, combined with the development status of GMO detection techniques in China, suggestions of carrying out inter-laboratory trial validation of detection method and strengthening quantitative PCR detection technology were proposed.

Key words: European Union, genetically modified organism, detection technology
