My name is Juan Chávez from Lima, Peru. I am a Professor at the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina. I am an Animal Scientist with a Masters Degree in Animal Production and a PhD in Biology (Animal Genetics) from Montana State University at Bozeman, United States. I also coordinate a biosafety project financed by UNEP/GEF (United Nations Environment Programme-Global Environment Facility) with the objective of implementing the Biosafety Framework in my country.

I have two questions related to Jim Murray's message (number 1).

1. What are the productive/reproductive differences between the GE animals of your list related to the conventional ones?

2. He writes: "While those of us developing such animals live in hope that regulatory approval will be forthcoming on a number of GE animals, at present the timeframe remains open". This sentence could be understood as if already there is a market demand for these GM animals in our developing countries, and that regulation is the bottleneck. Is this really the case ?
