The registration mechanisms and criteria are similar to those required for chemical pesticides. Specifically, the EPA Office of Pesticide Programs regulates PIPs through four mechanisms: registration, experimental use permits (EUPs), labeling, and tolerance levels. All PIPs must undergo registra- ' The notification option was created as a means to expedite tlie regulatory process for crops of lower plant pest potential. A crop may qualify for a notification if it meets the following criteria: (i) the plant is not listed as a federally recognized noxious weed species, nor is it considered a weed in the area of release; (ii) the introduced genetic material has not been derived from a human or animal pathogen; (iii) the introduced genetic material has been stably integrated into plant's genome; (iv) the function of the introduced genetic material is Icnown, and its expression products do not result in the creation of infectious identities such as viruses, toxic substances, plant disease, and the production of substances intended for industrial or pharmaceutical use; and (v) if the introduced genetic material is derived from a plant virus, it must not resuh in the creation of novel plant viruses.
The EU stopped considering petitions for deregulations in 2001 and began reviewing regulatory dossiers in 2004, only after mandatory labeling laws and full traceability of foods and feeds along the EU supply chain were implemented (for instance see Kalaitzandonakes 2004).
