Re: [DIYbio] Re: Legalities of GMO producing biolabs in the EU?

yes, you are totally right. and thats why there is people from europe who sets their company there, which allows them to pay lower taxes without the need of a passport or be physically there

You probably mean "e-residence", and that's not how it works.

Like in many other countries, both Estonians and foreigners can start a company in Estonia.

Estonians have their computer-connected ID cards, so they can do all government interactions online. For foreigners, they offer a similar ID card (called e-residence, just to confuse you) that you connect to your computer and can interact with the government. As a foreigner. You can log into the system, you can digitally sign legal documents, you can open a company, file _company_ taxes, etc.

This ID card is only used to identify you as a person. It does not grant you citizenship. It does not grant you residency. It has nothing to do with your tax residency as a person. If you had to apply for a visa to visit Estonia, you still have to.

this may be related to e-citizenship: you can have a company in estonia , with same rights and taxes than other estonians and keep your original passport. for big companies (aka big pharma and related), law related to biosecurity is quite clear.

problems with legislation regards to home labs, which is something relative new

regulation with a lab focused in produce GMO, as long as i know, is a biosecurity issue. if you can guarantee the biosecurity your country requires to work with GMO, you should have any problem.

Well I'm located in Finland but from what I understand I should have some leeway in doing this elsewhere in the EU as well as an EU citizen? A lot of Finnish companies are located in Estonia for example.

Regulations are changing from country to country... A lot.

Where would you like to do this exactly?

Is there a licensing process required in the EU for creating a biolab where microorganisms are genetically modified and fermented and what is this process like? I'm interested in starting such a laboratory.
