The legitimate functions of science, industry, medicine, and public health must be preserved, while at the same time addressing the risks they engender. In order to achieve this, there must be an understanding that the traditional boundaries between health and security need to be redrawn. The threat of infectious disease—whether naturally occurring or as a result of deliberate use —is real and growing, and the global community must find appropriate ways to counter this threat without crippling the very institutions that are critical to health security. Georgia, as part of former Soviet Union, used to share legislation including regulations on biosafety. Even though it's been more than decade since Georgia became independent, and while new Georgian laws have been adopted (parts of sanitary norms and regulations were renewed), many laws remain unchanged. The need for new Georgian regulations on biosafety/biosecurity is evident. The draft of new Georgian legislation on biosafety includes four documents: (1) Select Agents Rule; (2) Rules of Import, Export, Containment, Transfer and Handling of Cultures of Infectious Diseases Causative Agents (Bacteria, Viruses, Rikketsia, etc.), Protozoa, Mycoplasma and Genetic Materials, also Toxins and Poisons of Biological Origin; (3) Sanitary Norms For Labs Working with Especially Dangerous Pathogens; and (4) Guidelines for Safe Transportation of Infectious Substances and Diagnostic Materials. This new legislation package will be supported by all involved agencies like the Central Sanitary Inspection of the Ministry of Labor, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia, Ministry of State Security of Georgia, Ministry of Infrastructure of Georgia and Ministry of Interior of Georgia. Legislation on biosafety/biosecurity, like all the other legislation, rules, and regulations can be ideal, even applicable, but there must be readiness in the community to follow them. This requires creating mechanisms for their implementation.
